Lap kitten extraordinaire Hot is a luscious polydactyl micro-panther with golden eyes! This handsome black-on-black tabby boy has extra toes too!

Hot- Male Kitten: October 23, 2024 – stunning gold eyes and some white locket hairs *swoon*

Hot is a playful black male kitten who loves to run and pounce. He’s a purr-machine and loves to cuddle, making him the perfect lap cat.

He has some unique physical traits too. He is a black-on-black tabby. You can only see his stripes in certain lights, but it is stunning and very unique. He is also polydactyl in both front paws, meaning he has extra toes! Sometimes these types of cats are called Hemminway Cats. He has a scattering of white locket fur and throughout other parts of his body.

Enjoys lap Time to the fullest!

Hot gets along well with other cats, especially his buddy Aurora (also available, shown below). He is tolerant of dogs that don’t see him as prey. However, he can be skittish around toddlers and dogs that are aggressive or prone to chasing cats.

Hot and his sister Aurora (also available) snuggling. Maybe adopt them both?
Basics
  • DOB: May 26th, 2024 – estimate
  • Health: Hot has been neutered, microchipped, and has age-appropriate vaccines. He tested negative for FeLV and FIV.
  • Family: Good with cats. He would be a great pair with sister Aurora and generally good with cats.
  • New Family: He wants a family that loves to cuddle and do lap time!
  • Background: Hot is part of the ‘Weather’ cats in a neighborhood with several advocates. The Feline Connection has been working closely with the community in this area to spay/neuter the strays and feral cats.

If you have a cold lap that needs warming and tons of affection, Hot would like you to fill out an adoption application below and put his name on top! He would enjoy going home with his sister Aurora, but we don’t believe they are bonded.
