In the shelter’s words

Meet Dratini!

If you're looking for a kitten who is equal parts playful goofball and professional cuddle bug, Dratini is your guy!

At just 6 months old, Dratini has never met a stranger. He's incredibly social with people and will happily track you down just to curl up in your lap, rub his little face against yours, and remind you that cuddles are his full-time job. When he's not showering his humans with affection, he's burning off his kitten energy by wrestling, chasing toys, and playing with his very best friend, Virginia.

Dratini's journey has already shown just how resilient he is. After arriving at Dallas Animal Services, he was diagnosed with panleukopenia. Thanks to dedicated foster care, he made a full recovery and has grown into the happy, healthy kitten he is today.

This sweet boy absolutely thrives with another playful feline friend and would especially love to be adopted with Virginia Slim. The two are inseparable. They play together, nap together, and even look out for each other. If one is accidentally left in another room, the other will let everyone know until they're reunited. Virginia has even been known to cover Dratini's litter box "oopsies" when he forgets.

Dratini is litter box trained, does well in a carrier, and is always ready for his next meal, often standing (and sometimes even walking!) on his back legs in excitement. Whether he's chasing toys, snuggling on the couch, or making you laugh with his silly antics, Dratini is guaranteed to fill your home with love and entertainment.

If you're looking for a gentle, affectionate kitten who will be your shadow and your snuggle buddy, Dratini is ready to meet you!

**Would love to be adopted with foster housemate Virginia Slim, not required, though.

We strongly encourage adopting two kittens, especially if you don't already have a young, playful cat at home. Kittens thrive with a buddy, and it often makes for an easier, happier transition for everyone.
