Parker’s momma Piper gave birth to 4 kittens on top of a skid in a recycling plant. The 4 kittens were brought to be nursed by momma Pinot Noir, who also had 3 kittens of her own in a bin. Pinot was the heroic momma who nursed all 7 kittens to become the healthy, happy little furballs they are today.

Like his brother Panther, Parker is a mini house panther with dignity and presence. He is not rambunctious and high energy comparatively, but sweet and a little timid in nature. Parker likes to play with the rest of the crew, and needs the reassuring chaos of his siblings and cousins. He is rarely alone and is often found sleeping with another kitten.

Parker is still working on being comfortable with people and accepting touch from them. He is getting more comfortable with being held every day. Every positive interactions with people is showing him that good things come from the big two-legged creatures in the room, and head scratches and pets are the most awesome things they offer!

Parker must have a sibling or two as he goes to his new family. With patience, love, and a lot of positivity, this tiny panther with huge eyes will capture your heart and never let go.
