Every year, there is one absolutely inexplicable "left-over" kitten from the summer litters. This year, Ghirardelli is that kitten.

This short hair female orange tabby with a stubby tail was born around 7/1/25, and came in as a friendly kitten from a Trap-Neuter-Return operation this past summer. This girl is a firecracker - super high energy, bouncing from one toy to the next with a brief lap stop for about 18 seconds of petting and affection before ZOOM - off to the next toy or playmate. The words that spring immediately to mind for her are: acrobatic, energetic, affectionate!

So, why is she still waiting for her forever home? It is a true mystery - the only explanation is that she is meant to be with YOU and has been waiting for you to notice her listing! Scoop up this fun and frisky girl now, and make her dreams come true.

All pets arrive spayed/neutered, dewormed, microchipped and vaccinated. Adoption fee for Ghirardelli is a suggested minimum of $60 (more gratefully accepted). All pets are placed with a 30-day money-back trial period, to give pet and family enough time to discover any unknown allergies or other conflicts.

Can't come to Republic? Don't let that stop you! We have monthly transports to the Seattle area, delivering adopted pets to their new owners. If you can add a little to your donation to help us cover our volunteer driver's expenses, that would be great!
