Martha Cratchit's Story

I’m a short-haired gray tabby girl with lots of white mixed in—like a little winter snowstorm! I can be reserved at first, but once I settle in, I’ll chat with you about important things: When are you going to pet my back? How about a full-hand face rub? And why yes, I’d love to curl up in your lap!<br/><br/>My siblings race for toys, but I’m clever—I wait, then sneak in to claim the prize! My favorite? Spring coils. I’ll bat them across the floor and then chase after. One of the six Cratchit kittens from “A Christmas Carol,” I’ve been raised with a senior cat and other kittens. I’m social, sweet, and would probably be okay with kids. I’m all ready for my fur-ever family!<br/><br/>Est. DOB: Sept 11, 2025<br/><br/>Fully vetted: treated for fleas, ear mites, and intestinal parasites, tested for FeLV/FIV (negative unless otherwise noted), spayed/neutered, up to date on all vaccinations (including FVRCP+FeLV [initial vaccination and booster] and rabies), and microchipped with shelter paid registration.
