Kato is ready for a new home but for now lives at the Ontario Feral Cat Project shelter in Ontario. (Submitted photo)

Weekly feature: Can Kato come home?

Kato is a 2-year 8-month old male. He came to Ontario Feral Cat Project as an injured kitty. Ee required surgery and his entire tail was removed.

He’s a fantastic polydactyl and he can give you a double thumbs up…. if he wanted to!!

He’s a little shy, but once he trusts, he has a lot of love to share! He just needs a family willing to be patient with him and let him come around on his terms.

Kato has been at the shelter since March 1, 2021. He is neutered, UTD on vaccinations and tested negative for FeLV & FIV.

He is indoor only for his safety. No declawing is allowed..

Come meet Kato on Saturday to see if you have found your newest family member.

SATURDAY ADOPTION EVENT: Every Saturday, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Constance McCullough House, 84 N.W. 2nd St. in Ontario.
