T-Kitty is a sweet, beautiful, friendly 2 year old fluffball who is ready for her forever home safe inside after being outside and feral her whole life. Her gorgeous long coat was badly matted from this past winter and had to be shaved, but it is already long enough to be brushed! Brushing is essential for long hair cats like T-Kitty. Thankfully, it is one of her favorite activities! T-Kitty had 4 adorable kittens in 2024 (all adopted through IAR) and was a very good mama - she even nursed 2 kittens rescued from her colony who were not hers! After this past cold winter outside, she was finally ready for a cushy indoor lifestyle. She learned what unconditional love meant through having kittens and her foster parents can tell she has a lot of love in her tiny heart despite appearing very shy and fearful on the surface. She also loves other adult cats and has become best friends with an older black cat named Stitch; the two of them are now buddies and are getting closer every day as they learn more about each other. His way of navigating indoor life has already taught her so much! She is definitely more shy compared to Stitch, but he is helping her confidence. T-Kitty is a bit shy at first, but really appreciates consistency! Daily Churu treats with Stitch have been extremely helpful in gaining her trust and helping her feel loved and well taken care of. She is very polite and kind despite not being super snuggly or cuddly with her favorite humans. When T-Kitty is really happy, she likes to do small "marching steps" in place on the floor and nudge whatever she can reach. She has even started chirping and meowing at her foster parents, asking for pets — something feral cats are definitely not known to do around people! (She still doesn't like to be picked up, but her fosters think that can be worked on over time!) She still really appreciates her little nooks to hide behind, and feels safest if she has her own crate or comfy box to nest in. For being a formerly feral outside girl, she has wonderful inside manners, but needs an understanding human who can understand her body language as she continues to figure out life as an indoor kitty. If you're looking for a wonderful tiny fluffball to fill your home with positivity and love for many years to come, please consider giving sweet T-Kitty her forever home, along with her best friend Stitch!
