Zev - Tortoiseshell and Dilute Tortoiseshell Cat Available for Adoption in UNIVERSITY PA, Maryland

Zev just wants to say hi and be where the people are! She was the first of her litter to leave their foster space to join the humans, much to her mom's dismay. Zev has a pattern: she explores the new place, she plays with whatever or whoever she finds, and then once she's tired she comes to snuggle on your lap.

Zev loves everyone, happy to play with her siblings, come to humans for affection, and hang with the resident dogs. She's was the most determined to make friends with both of the resident cats and holds her own playing with the 13 pound calico. She would do well with a playful cat or another kitten, but does call out for other animals when she's all alone so she wouldn't do well as an only. She isn't the biggest fan of being picked up, but will be happy to come to you and sit on your lap multiple times a day. If you want to adopt her with another kitten, consider her siblings Carl, Princess Donut, or Mordecai.

Zev is being fostered in Ellicott City, MD. Please adopt Zev so that the temptation to foster fail is taken away.
