Simon (Photos 7/21/2024) (Special Needs Kitten)

Simon is an adorable male kitten who was brought to the HSOV on May 2, 2024 along with his mother (Claire) and his two brothers (Alvin and Theodore) after they were found in the Fleming Ohio area. Simon, Alvin and Theodore were tiny one-week old babies at that time. This little 'house panther' has a black short smooth coat, a long tail, and a cute kitten face with golden eyes, a black velvet nose, and long white whiskers. Simon's momma (Claire) was a wonderful mother to her kittens and raised three happy, playful boys in a small shelter cage. In all of their first family photos in early May 2024, Claire always had her paws lovingly wrapped around all three of her babies. Claire and her kittens were separated in late July 2024 after the kittens were weaned, and they are now in adjacent towers in the lobby of our shelter. Momma Claire still keeps a watchful eyes on her boys while they spend their days playing frivolous kitten games (smile). Simon was given Pyrantel wormer on May 8, 2024, and he was given vaccinations on June 6, 2024. Simon is being listed as a Special Needs Kitten since he has a possible ulcer in his left eye (which is visible in most of these photos). This little playboy dearly loves his brothers, and they are like 'The Three Musketeers' ..one for all and all for one. Naturally we'd love to see him adopted with one of his brothers (or with both of them as a trio). Simon will be neutered before being adopted by his family (a requirement for HSOV adoptions to be finalized).
