Eros was part of a feral colony of more than 20 cats. Though the colony was well cared for, Forgotten Felines was invited to come and help with a TNR (trap, neuter, return) program. Within the first few days, volunteers realized that many of these cats and kittens were friendly enough to try to socialize and adopt, rather than returning them to the colony.

Eros was scooped up, along with 10 of his relatives (some from his litter, others from other related females in the colony, underlining the importance of spaying and neutering feral colonies as well as house cats).

He was put into a foster family with his “aunt” Puma, another 6-month-old kitten.

Soon Eros’s personality began to shine through. He was friendly, sociable and curious, exploring new places and meeting new people with little hesitation.

Eros was adopted in January 2025.
