🐾 Pet of the Week: Meet Hakuna

No worries here—just love, laughs, and plenty of snuggles! Hakuna is a 4-month-old orange tabby kitten with a heart as bright as his fur. Silly, sweet, and ridiculously cuddly, this little guy is guaranteed to bring joy to your home.

Hakuna loves to play, but he’s equally devoted to the snuggle life. After a few zoomies or batting at a toy, you’ll find him happiest curled up in your lap or nuzzled in for a nap. He’s also very food-motivated, making him the perfect mealtime buddy—whether you invited him or not!

Adaptable and full of charm, Hakuna is ready to thrive in just about any home, as long as he gets proper introductions. First-time cat parent or seasoned pro—this guy will melt your heart either way.
