About Edamame:

Meet Edamame, a teenage kitten who’s ready to put the busy shelter life behind her and get established in a patient, understanding, and quiet forever home.

Edamame and her siblings were living outside in a feral cat colony until a community member took action to stop the cycle. Momma was spayed to prevent future breeding, and her kittens entered WAHS’ foster system to help them experience the kindness that people can provide. Some of the siblings took to their new life with ease, while others have been slower to build trust. One of those felines is Edamame. 

Although Edamame’s still uncertain around strangers and lots of commotion, she’s progressed leaps and bounds in a few short months – both in her foster home, and while living at the shelter. Edamame went from being the most scared of her litter to one whose progress is frequently noticed by staff and volunteers alike! She adores treats (especially Squeeze-Ups), and quiet moments just existing together.

To feel fully comfortable, Edamame definitely needs a home that’s tranquil; somewhere that she can acclimate and branch out at her own pace. We’ve seen cats just like Edamame completely transform into affection-obsessed cats with the right adopter, and we’ve also seen them remain as independent household members who appreciate their own space. It’ll be crucial that Edamame’s adopter be accepting of either outcome and love her exactly how she is.
