Meet Frankie, a 6 month old kitten who’s as lively as she is loving. She’s a little shadow, always by your side, ready to follow you from room to room while chatting away about everything and anything.

Frankie thrives on companionship and would need a home with other cat-friendly animals. In her foster home, she’s perfectly content snuggling up with her two big foster dogs and playing with her foster cat siblings. She’s social, affectionate, and fits right in wherever love is shared.

When she’s not following you around or having a chat, Frankie’s playful side shines. She loves hiding around corners and springing out to play, with a feather wand being her absolute favorite toy. Every evening, she asks for playtime with a polite (and persistent) meow until it’s time for a game.

Afterward, she’s all about cuddles and will happily nap quietly on your lap, soaking up the closeness.

Frankie’s a chatterbox, a playful spirit, and a lap-warming shadow all in one. If you’re looking for a little companion who will fill your home with love and laughter, Frankie’s ready to meet you.
