Starling Grant (Lucy kitten) - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Merrifield, Virginia

Starling, born in July 2026, was born inside a home to a wonderful mother who taught him to be confident, happy, and to enjoy being held and pet by humans. He loves to play and needs to be adopted with one of his siblings or into a home with another kitten or young, active cat.

Starling has had age-appropriate vaccines and will be microchipped prior to adoption; his mother tested negative for FIV & FeLV. He will need to be neutered when he's old enough.
