This explains why we try to adopt siblings together whenever we can.

I always say: One kitten is half a kitten. Two kittens are a whole!

Often, first-time adopters feel overwhelmed by the idea of bringing home a pair, and believe it will be easier to adopt a solo kitten…only to realize later that they wish they’d adopted a duo! As someone who reads a lot of adoption applications, trust me: a lot of solo-kitten adopters end up wanting a second kitten after all.

Paired adoptions make me happy, but I do lots of solo kitten adoptions too, as long as the adopter has another young cat in the home to be the kitten’s friend. Our kittens adjust beautifully to homes with young, playful cats! Interestingly enough, we didn’t have any paired adoption applicants for my current crew of 4…but we had several applications from people who had recently adopted a solo kitten and regretted not adopting a second!

One adopter told me that she’d adopted a kitten just days earlier, then went to the vet and was told “you need to get a second kitten,” so she applied with Orphan Kitten Club for a little friend. (LOVE that advice—thank you, vet!)

I share this to say that if you’re a first-time adopter considering a solo kitten, consider adopting a pair. I promise I’m not just trying to upsell you on kittens! Two kittens will keep each other entertained, learn new skills from one another, take out their energy on one another, and enrich each others’ lives. And when you adopt a pair of young friends or littermates, they’ll be bonded immediately!

If you’ve recently adopted a solo kitten and have no other cats at home, it’s not too late to get them a little buddy to bond with for life. Every time an adopter applies to pair one of our kittens with their new kitten, I tell them: you are making a very smart decision!
