Hey guys! I have a kitten I found at my apartment that needs a forever home. I would adopt him but I already have 2 cats and can’t house anymore fur balls. If you live around Briar Forest, Alief, or Jersey village areas please contact me if interested! He is friendly and litter box trained mostly. He is about 4-5 weeks old. Any interested parties MUST bring their own kennel. I am charging $40 for him to make sure he is truly wanted!
