Crumby the Cat: A Tale of Thrift and Chill to Warmth and Thrill!

Crumby – Male Kitten: January 13, 2025

Crumby (aka Cumby), the dashing grey mackerel tabby kitten, is a true survivor. Born under the watchful eye of his entrepreneurial mama, Frazzle, (who clearly has a knack for finding cozy spots – namely, under a short-term vacation rental screen porch behind a convenience store), this adventurous soul braved the elements with his brother Hyperfreeze and sister Berry Backlash until a kind human intervened.

Siblings: February 3, 2025

Rescued on a frigid late December evening (talk about a chill dude!), Crumby initially approached life with the caution of a seasoned convenience store clerk. Timid at first, he’d size you up with a skeptical glance and a big sniff, ensuring you weren’t a threat to his stash of lickable treats (a discerning palate runs in the family).

But don’t let his initial reserve fool you. This cuddlebug warms up quickly, especially if you’re armed with a playful toy and the promise of a good wrestle with his siblings

Crumby: January 14, 2025 – big purr time!

With a coat as soft as a well-loved blanket (thanks, winter!), Crumby is ready to purr his way into your heart. Just remember to approach with gentle movements – this cat appreciates his personal space, just like any good entrepreneur. He is gaining more confidence every single day!

P.S. Crumby’s ideal home? One with a comfy sunny spot to observe the world, tons of toys, lots of playtime with his people, cozy places to sleep and yummy food. And did we mention he comes with a built-in purr motor?

Disclaimer: While this bio is intended to be humorous, it’s important to remember that Cumby is a living creature with unique needs and personality traits.
