Tortoiseshell and Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption

Approximate Date of Birth: 12/1/2025 | Nutmeg is a shy little kitten who is still learning that people can be kind and safe. She is very timid right now and prefers to keep a little distance while she figures things out. Being held isn't her favorite yet, but she is slowly getting used to her surroundings and the humans around her. Nutmeg does have a playful side! She enjoys toys and will happily play—especially when she thinks no one is watching. It's always fun to catch a glimpse of her zooming around or batting at a toy when she feels comfortable. Nutmeg will do best with a patient adopter who understands that shy kittens need time to build trust. With love, patience, and a calm home, she will likely continue to gain confidence and show more of her personality over time. If you're willing to give a timid kitten the space and understanding she needs to blossom, Nutmeg could grow into a very special companion. | Cats: Likes with proper introduction | Dogs: unknown, has not met a dog | Kids: Can live with children over 12| Health information: All cats and kittens are spayed and neutered, preventatively dewormed, and microchipped.
