Kitten

Greyson, a long-haired grey kitten rescued from an alley, celebrated his first birthday on September 22. He arrived at Pet Haven Minnesota last October as a tiny orphan that required round-the-clock bottle feeding.

Early medical care revealed that Greyson was born with congenital megacolon. A veterinary technician foster, Abby, helped develop a routine of medication and diet trials that now keeps him well.

Despite his medical history, Greyson has grown into a healthy, handsome one-year-old cat with two distinct personalities. He is described as an energetic mix of playful yet cuddly, and his purr is an excellent, loud, non-stop motor. When he can sit on a lap, he will roll around for ten minutes straight.

Greyson has learned his foster home, met every visitor with an open heart, and is still in foster care, looking for a family to adopt him. Pet Haven Minnesota continues to advocate for the best care and a forever home for him.
