If you need a serotonin boost to get you through the upcoming fall and earlier sunsets, a legume kitten is definitely the antidote! The legume kittens can only be described as a burst of kitten energy and kitten cuddles all wrapped into one big purr ball. These sweet babies are all very social, very playful, and quite loving. They love to play with each other and would be happy to be adopted with a sibling, but also alone would work with them. They do well when unfamiliar people are around as well. They always use their litter boxes, devour their wet food and munch all day on their dry food.Peanut doesnât like to let the party end. Once his siblings start winding down, he makes the rounds to see whoâs still up for wrestling. He loves to carry his toys in his mouth, and his foster family has been able to get him to play fetch a few times. Once the sleepiness hits him, heâs happy to cuddle and purr near or on his people.Peanut is available for pre-adoption. Come meet him, fall in love and take him home after him neuter surgery. Please note: Our Santa Cruz locationâs Shelter hours are 11-6pm, 7 days a week. Although clients can walk through and see any animals in their kennels during open hours, we end âmeet and greetsâ (aka meeting an animal out of the kennel) at 4:30pm every day. If youâd like to meet an animal out of the kennel, please arrive before 4:00pm to allow for time to discuss individual animals and meet them.
