💚A Little Shy, but Full of Love! Meet Jimothy!💚

This morning, we took one of our most adorable little residents down to Mix103.1 to be featured as this week’s Pet of the Week! 🎙️🐱

💙Meet Jimothy, a handsome 10-week-old kitten who may be a little shy, but has a whole lot of love to give!

💚Jimothy isn’t the type of kitten who’s going to be the first to charge into an adventure. In fact, he’s probably going to be the one watching from a safe distance. But underneath that timid little exterior is one of the sweetest, most affectionate kittens you could ever hope to meet. 🥹

💙All Jimothy needs is a little patience, a gentle touch, and someone willing to show him that the world isn’t such a scary place. In return, you’ll have a loving little companion who just wants to curl up and enjoy some cuddles.

💚Help us find Jimothy a forever home where he can feel safe, loved, and cherished!

A special little guy looking for that purrrfect home!💚💙
