Adoption information
About Alfred
Alfred is a sweet little kitten who is slowly discovering how lovely human affection can be. He enjoys pats and attention when he feels safe but also values his independence and takes things at his own pace. His world revolves around playing, exploring, and snuggling up for naps in cosy hiding spots.
He absolutely loves children and other cats, especially his brother Edward. The two of them spend their days playing hide‑and‑seek behind the lounge, chasing each other, and inventing new games together. While Alfred may be shy at first, he is becoming more confident and friendly every day.
A special milestone — Alfred recently came onto the bed and purred for the first time. A beautiful sign of the trust he is learning to build.
His favourite place to sleep is on a chair under the dining table, where he feels safe, cosy, and tucked away.
