Nitro - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Fairfax, Virginia

Nitro is a tiny tabby kitten who started his life outdoors after being born under a deck, but he’s more than ready to trade that rough beginning for a life full of comfort and love. He’s small, sweet, and full of potential, and now that he’s safe, he’s eager for a family who will spoil him with affection, playtime, and all the cozy things a kitten deserves. Come meet Nitro and give this little guy the warm, happy home he’s been waiting for!
