MALCOLM, 12 weeks old at intake, is a domestic short hair taken in as an orphan kitten with is sister, Sabrina, on 7/18/22. A sweetie with strong, striking looks, hes a coy boy born in the wild learning to adapt to a kept lifestyle. Malcolm was most relaxed in the company of his sister, whom he doted on and protected. They frequently cuddled together and if she was nervous, shed hide behind him and hed don his armor of bravery. But if you reached into Malcoms kennel to pet him, his boldness would melt. Malcolms foster mom has been visiting him to help him adjust and its having a positive impact. Malcom still scurries away when one reaches in to pet him or hold him, but once hes in your arms he melts into the and purrs. Even though Malcolms body language indicates otherwise, he truly does love the special attention. Since his sister was adopted, Malcolm has been placed with another litter. Hes doing well with them and was even laying with his front legs stretched put proudly and confidently. Slowly, Malcolm is learning to love being loved. Patience is a virtue and virtue has its own reward. Malcolms adoption fee is $85 and helps cover the cost of his neuter, vaccinations, worming, monthly flea and heart worm preventive, microchip and care while at CCHS.
