Helvetica

Meet Helvetica, the former Spirit Kitten who has officially decided people are pretty great.<br/><br/>Helvetica may still make a quick getaway when someone new comes along, but once you catch him and scoop him up, his whole attitude changes. This sweet boy becomes an absolute love bug, happily soaking up pets and scratches while his very impressive purr box gets to work.<br/><br/>He is also a playful little guy who loves fuzzy balls, fuzzy mice, and ping pong balls. One of his favorite games is "catch me if you can," complete with a playful swat to your leg before he takes off running. Catch him, pick him up, and suddenly you have a purring kitten in your arms.<br/><br/>Helvetica has come a long way in foster care and is doing wonderfully. He has enjoyed spending time with other cats and would probably love having a feline friend in his new home. He may need a little time to warm up to new people, but once he gets to know you, you will discover the very sweet kitten underneath that initial shyness.<br/><br/>Ready to Adopt a Kitten? <br/><br/>You have two options:<br/><br/>#1- VISIT IN PERSON<br/>Come during our open adoption hours: Tuesday - Saturday,12:30 - 3:00pm. You'll be able to meet available kittens in the shelter. <br/>(Kittens in foster care are not available for in-person visits.)<br/><br/>#2- ADOPT SIGHT UNSEEN<br/>If you're ready to adopt without meeting the kitten first, we can help over the phone or by email.
