Story
Located in Blairstown, NJ Chandler is too young to be neutered.  He will require a prepaid neuter agreement It is our policy that kittens under 7 months old be adopted with a sibling, or into a home that already has a young cat- preferred under 3 years old. (dogs do not count)   If you are adopting 2 kittens, please indicate in the application which other kitten you want.  Adopting 2 kittens will have preference. Chandler wants to be your friend.  He went to the shelter as a "stray", along with his siblings.  He is still getting used to his mew foster home and is doing well.  He is still a little reserved as he figures things out but is doing better each day.  He is a typical kitten and likes to play and eat.    Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.August 31, 2026, 10:23 pm
