Largo

Description: DSH orange tabby
Born: April 10, 2026
Gender: Male

History:

Largo was born between two and four a.m. to Rhapsody, a highly socialized stray taken in by PAW. We had hoped that ‘Rho’ was not pregnant, as we suspected she was unspayed. She was indeed pregnant. During the night of April 9th/10th, she gave birth to five kittens. Largo (the term for a musical movement that is ‘slow’) was born last, after a bit of an inrerval between him and his next older sibling.

Personality:

Largo was the smallest of his litter, though he’s closed the distance on his siblings. While still probably the smallest, he is the second heaviest and is strong and healthy. He looks a little different than they do, too, less full of face and slimmer; his colouring is darker and tabby stripes stand out on his flanks. His fur has a different texture than the other kittens’.

Even as a newborn, he didn’t let his size hold him back. Once he’s challenged to a tussle, he goes all in and giveas as good as he gets. But it’s all in fun, and he gets along with his family. He’s met adult cats and, though wary, he’s not overly bothered by them.

He’s nicknamed Largo the Last, because he was the last of his litter to be born, but also because he hangs back a bit. When the siblings gather and one is missing, it’s Largo. He’s off doing his own thing. Maybe having been late out of the womb, he rather liked the peace and quiet. But that doesn’t mean he’s a loner; he may take advantage of the others being elsewhere in order to get an extra nap, or to explore on his own – but then he’ll be away to join them in their antics. He is very quick to start purring when given attention, and likes head-rubs the best.

Largo’s name may mean ‘slow’ but that refers to the order of his birth – he was the final one out; in no hurry – and not his method of learning. In fact, he was the first of Rhapsody’s babies to use a litter-box, and the first to eat solid food. He was also the first to be seen kneading in delight.

He, like his beautiful mum, Rhapsody, and siblings, Presto, Andante and Allegro, are ready for adoption (see their respective profiles.)

Please Note:

• The $250 adoption fee covers first vaccinations, spay/neuter surgery and micro-chip.
• If the kitten is adopted before its booster is due (30 days from first vaccination), the adopter must arrange and pay for booster themselves.
• When it is time for the kitten’s spay/neuter surgery, a representative from PAW will be in touch with adopter to co-ordinate the date.
• All surgeries will be done at Highlands Pet Hospital in Lethbridge unless the adopter lives out of the area. For those cases, arrangements will be discussed individually.
• If adopter chooses to add pre-anesthetic blood-work prior to spay/neuter surgery, payment for that is the responsibility of the adopter and is payable to the veterinary clinic the morning of surgery.
• Post-surgery, adopter must contact PAW to request change in contact information for micro-chip (no charge)
