  • Declawed: No

A sweet brave young lady heard kittens screaming in a dumpster.  She managed to fish them out and brought these two week old kittens to our shelter.  At first they were afraid of anything that moved or spoke but they quickly became eager to get out and play with the other fosters and humans.  Gerald and Melvin (seen here) love to be held right after they wake up and enjoy a cuddle and belly rub when offered. 

They've been in a foster home enjoying the company of a 10 year old dog and cat. They play well with the foster mom's dog, cat and the other three foster kittens.  Melvin's eager to get out and play and especially enjoys tackling his brother.  They are likely fine on their own yet do well with cats and dogs.  If you are considering adding two kittens to your household, these two would be great companions for life.


They have been raised together and have always played very well with others.  If you are interested in adopting Melvin, please fill out an application (go to thhs.org to apply).  And, if you are considering adding two kittens to your household, Jerry and Mel, as they are sometimes known, would be great companions for life.
