Thank you for adopting this little girl!! Please make sure she’s eating and drinking too. Very normal for sleepy kitties after the adrenaline and terror in their little hearts in the pound.

Looks like my Athena a little. minus the orange parts on her.
Yes cats typically sleep 18 hours a day but they are not "nocturnal" - that would mean they sleep in the day and are active at night.
Cats are "crepuscular." That means they are most active at dawn and dusk - the best hunting hours.

Haven’t scrolled to see if this sweet sleepy baby is a boy or girl so I have unisex, boy and girl options.
Button
(Like snooze button)
Zeezee (like 💤 in name form)
Rip or VanWinkle (you could call him Van)
Mel (melatonin)
Aurora (Sleeping Beauty)
Poppy (like the flower that puts you to sleep)
Sometimes when kitties are first adopted they are exhausted by what they went through. I know all the dogs and cats I’ve adopted over the years always slept a lot the first 3-4 days. As long as he checked out at the vet that’s totally normal. That said I’d call him Winky.
