Pet of the Week: Vivacious Van

By Natalia Thiessen
 
Oct. 8, 2025: Meet Van, an adorable kitten in need of his perfect forever home.
 
Van was rescued from the Bronx, where he was living under a van, which inspired his name. He survived on scraps and the kindness of a few neighbors who fed him and was eventually rescued.  Van is now awaiting a loving forever home.
 
Since being rescued, Van has proven to be an incredibly sweet and affectionate cat. He's full of energy and loves to play with toys, run through tunnels, and chase anything that moves. His playful spirit is infectious, and he brings such joy to everyone around him.
 
Van gets along well with other cats, especially those who can match his energetic personality.  He does well with respectful children but does not have a history with dogs. He can play a bit rough sometimes because of his energetic personality, but with no bad intentions.
 
After everything he's been through, Van is ready for a forever home where he can be safe, loved, and free to play as much as he wants. Van is an amazing kitten with a big heart and so much love to give his forever family.
 
If you're looking for an active, affectionate companion who will keep you entertained, Van might be the perfect match.
