With such an adorable face and pretty colours, Gretchen is pretty irresistible! However, she’s not like most kittens; having spent her first couple months living in a barn, she is still getting used to this whole “people” thing. That’s why Gretchen will need a patient, calm home with a quiet family, since loud noises and fast movements are very scary to her! But once she feels safe (and receives some nice cheek scritches!), you’ll start to see her playful, curious, and sweet side!
Be sure that you’re ready for all of the responsibility that comes with taking a kitten home, since they require a lot of supervision, kitten-proofing, and training to grow into well-mannered cat companions. Gretchen has shown that she has all the makings for a lovely housecat; she just needs the right family to help her thrive. Will you be lucky enough to make Gretchen your new best friend?
