About Toto
Toto Needs a Home 💕
This gorgeous little boy is available for pre-adoption! Toto is not quite big enough or ready to head off to his forever home just yet, but we would love to find his perfect family for when he is ready (around the end of November).
Toto might be little, but he has a whole lot of love and personality to share!
Born into the safety and love of foster care, Toto has known nothing but kindness, affection and the comfort of his beautiful mum and siblings. He is an adorable little boy with a sweet, friendly and playful personality. He loves exploring, playing with his siblings and discovering all the exciting things the world has to offer.
Toto is everything you could wish for in a kitten – affectionate, curious, cheeky and full of personality! Whether he is getting up to mischief with his siblings, investigating something new or enjoying some affection, this darling little boy is sure to steal hearts.
He will bring endless entertainment, laughter, love and cuddles to his lucky forever family!
🐾 Why Toto Needs a Feline Friend
As adorable as Toto is, he cannot be adopted as an only cat. Kittens learn incredibly important social and behavioural skills from growing up alongside other cats.
Solo Kitten Syndrome is a term used to describe behavioural challenges that can develop when young kittens grow up without feline companionship. Without another cat to teach them boundaries, appropriate play and communication, kittens may become overly dependent on their humans, play too roughly, struggle with bite inhibition or develop frustration and boredom.
Having a feline companion provides enrichment, comfort, confidence and opportunities to learn appropriate social behaviours. Two kittens can entertain, comfort and teach one another in ways humans simply cannot replicate!
💕 Toto's Perfect Forever Home
Toto must be adopted into a home with an existing friendly, playful cat who will welcome a little companion, or he can be adopted alongside one of his equally adorable siblings, Gizmo or Tiny, or his gorgeous mum, Evelyn.
Adopting two kittens together is such a wonderful experience. Not only do they have a familiar companion to help them settle into their new home, but they also have a lifelong playmate, cuddle buddy and best friend.
And who wouldn't want to watch two adorable little kittens grow up together?
Toto has had the most beautiful start to life, surrounded by love and the security of his little family. Now all he needs is a loving, indoor-only forever home where he can continue to thrive, surrounded by affection, playtime and feline companionship.
Could this sweet little gentleman be the missing piece of your family? 💕
