More about Mantis

Meet MantisMantis is a 4‑month‑old kitten who came to us as a stray, unsure of the world and keeping his guard up. At first glance, he’s a little shy — the kind of kitten who watches you carefully before deciding if you’re safe. But give him just a few minutes, and the real Mantis appears: a head‑butting, purring sweetheart who leans in for more affection.When Mantis first arrived, he was very timid. Everything changed once he was reunited with his little brothers who had come in a few weeks before him. With them by his side, he blossomed. He showed us his true nature — a gentle, loving kitten who just needed comfort and familiar faces to feel brave.Mantis is looking for a home that understands that shy kittens aren’t broken; they’re simply waiting for someone patient enough to let them bloom. With a bit of time and a lot of love, he’ll reward you with the sweetest companionship.Mantis's adoption fee is $0, which helps support their medical care and preparation for adoption.
