Lenny
Lenny
Age: 4 months
Story: Lenny is a sweet boy who was orphaned when only a couple days old. Along with his brothers Benny and Kenny, they were saved by their wonderful foster mom who bottle fed them until they could eat on their own. As a result, these trio of kittens are cuddly, nap-on-your-lap cats who are all perfectly mannered. They also get along splendidly with senior cats and a very nice dog. Like many kittens, they love to play together. It sure would be nice if Lenny were adopted with one or more of his siblings, because life is just more fun with friends. Adoption qualifications required.
Fee: $65. Adoption prices: all kittens 12 months or younger will be $65 each and all other cats are $30. Includes microchip, neutering and current shots.
