Digger: female kitten

The best things about Digger:
Perfectly litter trained
Enjoys being held by adults and children
Socializes with the family and never hides
Does not scratch furniture
Sleeps at night
Loves kids
Never tries to run out when you open an exterior door

Our sweet little girlie, Digger, was found with her sister on the northeast side of Indianapolis on August 25, 2014 by Indianapolis Animal Care and Control.  IACC placed her with a surrogate mother who took her right in and nursed her.  When I picked her up on September 9th from IACC, she was maybe 2 weeks old, only about 7oz, and so sick.  Her upper respiratory infection and conjunctivitis made her miserable.  She eventually became so stuffy that refused to nurse, so I bottle fed her every two hours.  I think that this constant contact with me significantly shaped her personality as the sweet cuddler that Digger is today.  Besides the bottle feeding, she's been very well socialized by three year old triplets.  Digger not only tolerates the clumsiness, LOTS of rowdiness, and not-so-gentle hands of my preschoolers, but she LOVES to be around them.  She can always be found playing with them and their toys. She enjoys Thomas train sets the most.  Digger will be just fine in a household with children of any age!
Digger will have full panel of vaccinations and be spayed upon adoption. Should be available the second week of December (estimation).  
*The name Digger was given by a three year old boy who loves diggers and backhoes and cranes.  The name Digger is not reflection on the personality or behavior of the kitten. :)
