In the shelter’s words

IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN ADOPTING, PLEASE FILL OUT OUR ADOPTION APPLICATION AT TCRESCUE.COM/ADOPT Coal is a sleek, 2-year-old with striking gray fur and boundless energy. He was rescued alongside his brother Ash from a dangerous cat colony, where their father tragically died from poisoning. Coal is incredibly curious and playful—he loves running on the cat exercise wheel, chasing laser pointers, and pouncing on toy mice. Despite his tough start in life, he’s a resilient kitten and loves head/cheek scritches. Coal is ready to find a loving forever home, ideally alongside his brother Ash, with whom he shares a strong bond. His playful personality and inquisitive nature make him the perfect companion for anyone looking for a fun-loving kitten to brighten their days.
