Notes from City of Houston, Bureau of Animal Regulation and Care

Sterling is a stunning 9.5-week-old kitten with a pewter-gray coat sprinkled with bright silver strands, accented by striped leggings, white booties, and a matching white belly. He’s a playful little fireball who can turn anything into a game—crumpled paper, boxes, wand toys (no feathers), and especially his favorite pop-out tunnel. When the zoomies hit, he zooms and flips his way around the room! After mealtime, this energetic boy becomes a total cuddlebug. He loves curling up in your lap, and because he’s still young and teething, he’ll sometimes try to nurse on soft fabrics or gently chew fingers—easy to redirect with a toy or a cozy nap. He’s also full of adorable quirks, like tilting his head and staring sweetly while you talk to him. Sterling is fun, curious, mischievous, and incredibly loving—he’s ready to bring joy to the forever family lucky enough to adopt him! If you are interested in adopting please email BARCfoster@houstontx.gov today!
