Meet Feather!
Hello there. I'm Feather, and I need to tell you something important: I may be small, but I have a VERY big job.
I'm the smallest kitten in my family, and I'm the only girl among my five brothers - Ardana, Feathertail, Ashwing, Crowfeather, and Flameheart. And you know what? I take my role as their little sister VERY seriously.
When Ashwing gets scared, I stay close to him so he knows he's not alone. When my brothers are playing too rough, I'm the one who makes sure everyone's okay. When there's a strange noise, I'm the first one to check if my boys need protecting - even though I'm half their size and my heart is beating really fast.
I know what you're thinking: "Feather, you're tiny and you're a bit shy yourself. Why are you trying to protect everyone?" Well, because they're MY brothers. And when you love someone, you show up for them. Even when you're nervous. Even when you're the smallest.
Don't get me wrong - I'm not super confident around new people yet. I'm a little shy, and I might need a moment to warm up to you. But here's the difference between me and truly shy cats: I don't stay scared. I DECIDE to be brave. For my brothers. And eventually, for you too.
What I'm trying to say is: I have so much love in this tiny tabby body, and I've been using it to take care of my brothers. But deep down? I'd really like someone to take care of ME for once. Someone who sees that the smallest one can have the biggest heart. Someone who'll appreciate that I'm gentle and cautious, but fiercely loyal.
I'm looking for a home where I can finally be someone's baby instead of always being the brave one. Where I can be protected instead of doing all the protecting.
Will you be my person? I promise I'll be yours.
