Wanderer

Wanderer is an adventurous and playful 9-week-old,

black-and-white, female kitten. She was bottle-fed by a young

symphony musician. Because of our community involvement, you can see

other kittens raised by local people at our weekend adoption events.

Our hand-raised kittens make great family members because they

love to be with people. However, because many are so trusting, they

are not well suited for an indoor-outdoor life, as they have no

street sense. Many caregivers report hand-raised kittens sleep more

soundly and therefore are less alerted to danger. Some have even

slept through the noise and close proximity of the vacuum.

Rescue calls demand more in-home caregivers and volunteers. This

is the beginning of this year’s second kitten season. Newborn babies

are being found only days old and needing help to survive.
