Mitchell, Maine coon mix
Mitchell is a male Maine coon kitten staying at Maine Coon Adoptions (MCA).
Mitchell is happy to keep company with dogs and cats. He has mastered his house-training etiquette. He has been vaccinated.
Here's more from Mitchell:
My name is Mitchell and I am an adorable (if I do say so myself) little tuxedo kitten. In addition to my good looks, I am a little fluffy ball of energy. I am curious and just love to play, play, play. I was raised as a bottle baby which means I’ve had tons of experience with humans and am super confident and outgoing. Nothing scares me — I just want to explore and socialize. Because I am so playful, energetic and social, I really need at least one kitten buddy to pal around with.

Mabel is happy to keep company with other cats and dogs. Mabel is vaccinated. She's mastered her house-training etiquette.
Notes from Mabel:
I am confident, outgiong and I love to snuggle. I was a bottle baby, which means that I am very comfortable with humans. I love to play with my brothers, so I’ll need a friendly and playful kitten or cat in my new home. My coat is super-duper soft and I have this one adorable orange paw. I love toys and my foster mom says my purr motor turns on the instant I get a pet or two.

Pearl is ready to make friends, and she'll get along great with other cats. Fear not: She has already house-trained. She has all her shots.
More from Pearl:
I’m very smart and curious and quite social. In my previous home I was the best friend of a respectful little boy, so I am fine with children and other cats and probably even a cat-friendly dog. I’d also be fine as the only cat in the house as long as there is someone who will play with me. I am also very affectionate and enjoy being petted.

Missy, domestic shorthair
Missy is a lovable female domestic shorthair kitten currently housed at People Animals Love and Support (PALS) East Bay.
Missy is a social animal, and she gets along well with kids, cats and dogs. Her vaccinations are up to date. She is already house-trained.
Notes from Missy's caretakers:
She is the perfect kitty — happy playing but snuggly and people-oriented, too. She is content to sit for hours cuddled on your lap, soaking up attention. Because she is very gentle, and she would be best with older children. She loves other cats and would also be most happy with a buddy, either another kitten or a friendly resident cat.

Licorice plays well with others, and he'll get along great with your dogs, cats and kids. He's already house-trained. Licorice is vaccinated.
From Licorice:
I really enjoy playing with toys. I am pretty social, so I easily make friends with other cats. I love dashing into my cozy spot (a box with a cat bed) and welcome receiving petting and TLC there. I love lounging around on soft blankets and discovering new cozy spots. I can be a little shy so I’d do best in a home without boisterous kids.
