Meet Moody Meatball!

Meatball is the life of the party! He is confident, social, and playful! His favorite things are playing with his foster siblings, achieving the perfect loaf, and being picked up and smooched all over. He loves to tell you about his day, and while he's food motivated, he's respectful with human food. Meatball is patient and gentle with young children, and enjoys making his rounds when guests are over. Give this guy a wand toy, a treat, or some kisses, and he'll be your shadow. A family who wants to work on tricks is a plus! He's a smart guy and is working on: sit, dap up, spin. Meatball is the perfect balance of affectionate, friendly, and energetic. Did we mention he adores kids?

Meatball is great with other dogs and cats, and would thrive with another confident cat in the home! He is such a sweet kitten that warms up quickly and loves his zoomies! This guy definitely hits his step goal and loves to run circles around the room. He isn't scared of anything - not even a vacuum! He's smart and loves to learn tricks!

He is oh so photogenic and so easy to take photos of! He is playful, independent, and enjoys playing with other kittens. He is not a huge fan of the cuddles, but if you lay still enough, he may curl up in your lap for a quick nap.

Meatball is Ted Lasso in cow print! They're both friendly, upbeat, and charismatic. His dating profile would say, I came, I saw, I made friends with everyone in the room!

Beagles and Bentleys has an across-the-board evaluative process that we apply to every application we review that prioritizes our animals in need. We conduct a vet reference check (all resident dogs must be altered/up to date on dhpp/rabies and monthly preventatives, and cats must be altered and up to date on rabies) and a virtual home visit call where we discuss the adoption process and see your home.
