Cat and kitten adopters are pretty choosy when it comes to adding a feline to the family. Either their choice reflects a past pet they have owned or a photo touches their heartstrings. So many children visit Pet Adoptions of Cuero and specifically ask for a “kitten with mittens.” And there are often many to choose from as the typical tabby grey striped kitten usually has four white paws.
They come predressed with white mitten gloves. Many times, they are named “Sugar Foot” or “Toes in the Sand” or “Mittens” to go along with the distinctive fur pattern design on their paws.
The PAOC shelter also has a variety of other adorable furbabes. The soft milky grey kittens are known for their distinctive eyes which really pop against the soft grey fur. Calicos are those tricolored kittens that are 99% females. Only one in every 3000 calico’s could turn out to be a male.
Orange toned tabbies are next on the list as a favorite choice. Solid black kittens are so elegant and have an air of mystery, but they usually are the most friendly and social of all. No matter which kitten or cat becomes the families pet they must be spayed and neutered — not just to prevent more litters of kittens but the procedure helps with their overall health.
Female kittens need to be about fouir pounds or fourmonths- old so they are completely developed and male kittens also should be in the fourpound range or fivemonths- old. Prior to the procedure, the kittens will be able to get needed shots and vet work done especially if they will be indooroutdoor felines in the future.
