My story

　　Hi! I'm Scarlett!

　　I'm a pretty shy girl, but I've really warmed up a lot since I've been with RCHS! I may hide at first, but once I'm used to things and I'm not so scared, I'll stop hiding. Once I settle in, I'm comfortable with my foster family, but guests still scare me. My foster mom is working with me on that; loves and treats help a lot!

　　Once I get to know you, I'm a real snuggler - but only on my terms. I can be pretty skittish if you just walk by and randomly pet me, but if you approach slowly and let me sniff your hand and reassure myself that it's you, I won't run off. On the other hand, if you're not standing up, I'll respond to my name and snuggle a lot! I really like to flop over on my back and snuggle into your arm, and I even don't mind belly pets!

　　I'm a water kitty! My favorite thing to do is dip my paw into my water bowl and then lick the water from my paw. I really like doing this in the water fountain, but will dip my paws in regular water bowls too. My favorite spot is to lie in the window and watch the world and my second favorite spot is the top of a cat tree. Do you have windows and a cat tree?

　　I get along with other cats, but I need some time to warm up to them first. I will hiss and run away until I learn I don't need to be afraid of them. I'm starting to get used to dogs, too! I haven't played or cuddled with my dog foster siblings yet, but I don't run from them either. I will come with them for loves and hanging out with my foster human, like I'm just part of the crew.

　　All kittens go to their new homes spayed/neutered, microchipped, current on age-appropriate vaccinations, and tested negative for FIV/FeLV. If you are interested in adopting this kitten, please fill out an application here: bit.ly/Cat-Adopt-App.
