Kalamata is proof that the best things in life are an acquired taste. 🫒

This black-and-white kitten started out shy and unsocialized. With patience and love (a good brine can't be rushed), she now enjoys being petted, follows her people around, and is absolutely stuffed with playful energy.She's still a little salty about being held, so please don't scoop her up like a jar off the shelf. She'd much rather come find you and settle into a cuddle puddle on her own terms.Kalamata is happy to extend an olive branch to just about anyone. She loves other animals, especially dogs, and has been wonderfully tolerant of both toddlers and teens. Honestly, she'd fit right in on the whole mezze platter.At 8 months old, this adoptable kitten in Richmond, VA is the pick of the olive bar. Olive you already, Kalamata.
