My name is Lava and I’m a male kitten about six months old. I was found as an abandoned stray, but I allowed myself to be picked up and handled, so, although I am shy, I am a friendly boy underneath. I might not be so shy if I hadn’t been abused earlier in my life. The vet said it looks like, at some point, I’ve been burned on my feet, so can you blame me for being a little wary? I’m very friendly with other cats though, so the right home for me would be one with another feline with whom I could be pals. My new people will need to be patient and help to bring me out of my shell.
