[quote=Anonymous]An FYI about kittens. Most rescues and shelters do now require that kittens be adopted in pairs. Also, most young kittens will bond just fine (we've never had an issue) but if you're concerned look for 'bonded pairs.' You'll see a number listed this way on Petfinder.

We were recently looking for a kitten to bond with our young cat after his playmate died. When we looked at the shelter, we zoomed in on the kittens that were cuddled together. If you see a kitten in a cage alone, you can ask if the shelter will let that one go as a singleton. There is sometimes a reason they're not sharing with 1-2 others when space is obviously in demand. For example, we looked at a sweet little boy, Hutton, at the Moco shelter but didn't move forward with him because he'd be best adopted alone since he was not socialized properly (came from a hoarder's house). So it is harder to adopt a single kitten but not impossible.

Adopting a singleton one year old and up is not a problem. And in my experience they're still pretty kitten-like at that age :-).[/quote]
