Spicy Meatball - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Richmond, Virginia

Spicy Meatball likes to think he's the toughest guy in the room. He'll give you his best "don't mess with me" stare and act like he's got important kitten business to attend to. But don't let the tough-guy act fool you-once you scoop him up, he quickly remembers that pets are actually pretty nice. Before long, the purr motor kicks in and he's happily soaking up the attention.

Spicy Meatball and his brother were found fending for themselves outdoors, so he's still learning that people can be trusted and that indoor life comes with some pretty amazing perks-soft beds, tasty meals, and endless toys. He's made great progress, but he'll need a patient family willing to let him continue building his confidence at his own pace.

His secret recipe for success? A friendly, outgoing kitty buddy! Spicy Meatball would love a home with a social feline friend who can show him the ropes and teach him that humans are actually pretty great companions.

If you're looking for a kitten whose sweet side is worth earning, Spicy Meatball is ready to spice up your life.
