- Requires a feline companion
- Looking for a home without young children
- No known experience with dogs

Cutlass is an active, playful kitten with endless energy and plenty of fun to share. Born to a feral mom, she wasn't sure about people at first, but with time and patience she's learning that humans aren't so bad. She's still working on building trust and will need a patient adopter who is ready to help her continue making progress.

Cutlass needs an adopter who can keep her in a small, quiet space such as a bathroom at first and spend several short sessions socializing with her each day for a few weeks. This gentle, consistent approach will help her learn that people are safe and give her the confidence she needs to grow into a loving companion. Because she'll need patient, hands-on socialization, she's looking for a home without young children.

With patience, consistency, and a friendly kitty by her side, Cutlass has the potential to blossom into a wonderful companion.
