Kodi came to the shelter because his family had too many cats. He's very friendly and playful. 

ARLINGTON, Vt. — There's a lively feline at Second Chance Animal Shelter looking for a new playmate. 

iBerkshire's Companion Corner is a weekly series spotlighting an animal in our local shelters that is ready to find a home.

Kodi is a 5- to 6-month old domestic short hair who has been at the shelter since May.

"He came to Second Chance because his family had too many cats and they couldn't care for all of them. So Kodi and some of his other siblings about the same age came to the shelter a few months ago," said Cathi Comar, executive director at Second Chace Animal Shelter.

Kodi is a playful boy who enjoys looking outside when he's not romping with his toys. 

"Kodi is very, very active. He loves to be outdoors on our enclosed patio. He chases after butterflies and birds that are outside, who are safe on the other side of the fence," she laughed.

The kitten gets along well with other cats, especially his buddy Jax, another cat in the shelter available for adoption. The two can be adopted together if someone is looking for a pair that get along very well. 

"He's looking for a home where there could be other cats, there could certainly be children, and we believe he might get along with dogs also, though he's never really been exposed to one here at the shelter," said Comar. "He's currently living in a community room. Gets along great with all the other cats in the room, including his buddy Jax, who's a slightly older guy, a couple years old stray that came to the shelter, they can certainly go home together, and they would make a dynamic duo."

Kodi doesn't have any special needs and is up to date with everything needed at his age. 

"Kodi is ready to go to his forever home. He is neutered. He's up to date with age-appropriate shots. He's been dewormed, and he does have a microchip. We microchip all of our animals at Second Chance, so we register the microchip in your name once an adoption is successfully done," Comar said.

If you think Kodi is your next best friend you can learn more about him on Second Chance Animal Shelter's website.
