Alexandria Pet Of The Week: Shy Kitten Henry Needs A Friend

ALEXANDRIA, VA — It's that time of winter when perhaps nothing is better than relaxing at home with a furry companion. The Animal Welfare League of Alexandria can be your first stop for adoptable dogs, cats and other animals.

One of the available pets is Henry, a shy kitty learning how to be a housecat after being discovered outside with his siblings. This 4-month-old kitten is becoming more comfortable with people and indoor life with the help of his foster family.

Henry is available to meet in a foster home. Email adopt@alexandriaanimals.org or call 703-746-5662 x2 to learn more and set up an appointment.

Henry, 4-month-old Male Black Domestic Short-Haired Cat

Henry is a little kitty in a big world! Found outside with his siblings when he was young, this 4-month-old kitten is still learning to live life indoors as a pampered pet. He had been the epitome of a "'fraidy cat," but with the help and patience of his amazing foster family, he's becoming more comfortable with people, learning that petting can be nice when it comes from friends. He's still figuring out some of the Ins and Outs of being a housecat. He's become a Litter Box Pro, but he still hasn't quite gotten the hang of toys. He's lived with other cats and found the wet food and treats are just the best! Henry is looking for a family to take it slow with him, so he can continue to learn how to be the best Grown-Up Cat he can be. He's currently enjoying his time with his foster family, but to learn more about him and how to meet him, email adopt@alexandriaanimals.org or call 703.746.4774 x2.
