In the shelter’s words

This cute black kitty is our Fern. She is a sweet playful kitty. Fern is a unique kitty, she is very shy and skittish at first but as soon as she gets to know you she opens up and loves pets and will rub all over you when she wants attention. She DOES NOT like to be held or kissed yet, she will need someone who can provide love and patience until she opens up and warms up to you. Fern is very playful, she LOVES to sit in the window and watch birds, she also LOVES to nap in the sun. While Fern doesn't like to be picked up and nuzzled yet, she has also recently discovered that she LOVES to snuggle on the couch and watch TV with you. She loves chin rubs and butt scratches and pats and will snuggle with you on the couch for hours. She loves catnip and squeeze up wet food. Fern is good with other cats but can be a little skittish and hissy at first until she gets to know the other cat. She would be better in a home without kids as she does not like being picked up yet. Fern has recently really taken to her new foster brother Davey A. Void (also available for adoption) and would love to be adoped with him so they can both continue to play together! Fern is spayed, up to date on all her vaccines, microchipped, litter trained and has tested negative for FIV/FELV. Fern is a sweet young kitty who is looking for a chance to provide love and affection to the right home. If you think that you are the person for Fern's forever home please submit an adoption application on our websit e https://www.castawaycritters.org/apply-to-adopt . If you have any questions or want more information on Fern please reach out to her Foster family Tom & Gabby @ Tom06661@live.com.
