Story
Meet Sly — The Fearless Explorer Don't let the 15 week old kitten face fool you. Sly is bold, bouncy, and always on a mission. He is growing every single day (he makes sure he never misses a meal), loves a good adventure, and approaches life with zero fear. His pounces are legendary — more rabbit than cat — launching left, right, and straight up just for fun. And his biggest dream? That the dogs in the house, all 30-40 pounds of them, will finally agree to be his full-time wrestling buddies. If you're looking for a kitten with courage, comedy, and cuddles in equal measure, Sly is your guy. To add the warrior boy to you home please contact ccrnewengland@gmail.com    August 31, 2026, 9:49 pm
