Branch - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Lowell, Massachusetts

Meet Branch! He is a 4 month old grey domestic shorthair, and he needs the help of a kind, patient, cat-savvy human. Branch came from the great outdoors along with his siblings, and while they love cats, they are still quite unsure about people.

Branch and his friends are not your typical friendly, outgoing kittens. These cuties are what we call "Spirit Kittens". You approach them, and he will run to the other side of his enclosure & stare at you, maybe give a little hiss. We are able to pet him when he is eating a yummy treat, but he does not love it just yet.

These kittens need a person that will spend some quiet time sitting with them, offering treats, and letting them take their time to come out of their shell. Another huge helper is another friendly, outgoing, playful cat to help show them the ropes on being a cat!

The truth is, Spirit Kittens may never fully bloom into sweet, friendly, outgoing cats. But, a lot of them do take big, positive steps forward once given a safe space.

Due to this shyer personality, we are not placing Branch or his siblings with kids. He needs a teens+ or adult only home with cat experience, and we are requiring the adopter have a friendly, outgoing, playful cat at home to help them feel comfortable.

Our shelter is open Tuesday-Sunday from 12-4 (closed Mondays). If you are interested in this pet, please review our adoption process at www.lowellhumanesociety.org/adoption/#process so you're prepared to adopt & stop by the shelter with the required information to take home this pet.
