Story
Meet Kitten Super Stormy—a gentle spirit with a touch of shyness at first, but soon reveals his playful side. He delights in darting through tunnels, window surfing for hours, and is forever on the hunt for her next adventure. Curious and lively, Stormy transforms every moment into a game.   This very handsome boy is ready to find his forever home.  To give me the forever family he so deserves and to request an application, please email Vivienne at vivienneajames@gmail.com or text 615-943-7311.  An approved application and adoption fee are required.  (Stormy will be ready to travel to his forever home after Labor Day.)August 10, 2026, 2:51 pm
