Old soul in kitten’s body

- — Kelsey Dickerson, Arizona Humane Society

As handsome as they come, little Cortex is sure to win his way into the core of anyone’s heart with his big bright eyes and mellow demeanor.

The adorable chocolate point Siamese kitten was rescued at just six weeks of age when he was found with severe dehydratio­n and a bad upper respirator­y infection and brought to the Arizona Humane Society’s Second Chance Animal Trauma Hospital for treatment.

The beautiful Siamese kitten not only continued to gain his health back while living in an AHS Foster Hero home but also gained confidence, as he was very mistrustin­g of humans prior to his rescue.

After just a few short weeks, threemonth-old Cortex has shown that he might be the calmest kitten ever, as he simply loves to hang out with his people, even if it’s from a distance.

Described as an “old soul in a kitten’s body,” Cortex enjoys chilling out in high places such as cat trees or windows as he observes the world and takes cute kitten naps.

Although he loves his human and feline friends, this kitty cat should go to a home without pups.

HOW TO ADOPT: Cortex will be available for adoption Sunday, Oct. 7 at noon at the Arizona Humane Society’s Sunnyslope Campus at 9226 N. 13th Avenue in Phoenix. His adoption fee includes his neuter surgery, current vaccinatio­ns, a microchip and a free followup wellness exam with a VCA Animal Hospital. For more informatio­n, call 602-997-7585 and ask for animal number 589485.
