Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Kiyoshi is a beautiful 2-year old female Tuxedo kitty who was brought to the HSOV on March 16, 2022 after she was found on Washington Street in Marietta Ohio.
Kiyoshi has a sleek black short smooth coat with a large patch of white on her chest in a tuxedo pattern, white socks on her paws, a long tail, and a pretty face with large dark golden eyes, a black velvet nose, and extra-long white whiskers.
Kiyoshi was given wormer and flea treatment on March 16, 2022 but vaccines were withheld because (sigh) she was pregnant when she entered our shelter. Kiyoshi was combo tested that day and is negative for feline leukemia, FIV, and heartworm. She weighed 10 lbs at that time.
This little mother-to-be had a bit of an attitude (possibly due to her pregnancy or elevated hormone level).
Kiyoshi gave birth to four kittens on March 31, 2022. Mother and babies were doing well, and they went home with a fabulous foster mother on April 7, 2022.
Sadly, one of Kiyoshi's kitten passed away in foster care on April 16, 2022. and Kiyoshi and her three kittens came back to the shelter that day since they needed a little extra care. A second kitten passed away on April 23rd.
Kiyoshi was given vaccinations on April 24, 2022 and was given booster vaccines on May 16, 2022.
Kiyoshi and her two remaining kittens (Ozai and Zuko) continued to thrive and are still doing well.
Kiyoshi became an 'empty-nester' when she was separated from her kittens in mid-May 2022 since they were fully weaned. Kiyoshi was spayed on May 24, 2022 and was also given rabies vaccine. She weighed 7 lbs that day.
Kiyoshi's kittens (Ozai and Zuko) are very bonded with each other, so we are thrilled that they already have a family waiting to adopt them together as soon as they are neutered. (NOTE: Ozai & Zuko were adopted on June 29, 2022)
Kiyoshi spent a few months in one of our adoption rooms (The Jungle Room) and later enjoyed the freedom of our HSOV Free-Roaming/Open Cat Room where she made the acquaintance of another 'empty-nester' (Matilda).
Kiyoshi and Matilda became best friends and were chosen on January 8, 2023 to be showcased at the WeLovPets Store (Lafayette Plaza, Marietta Ohio) were they are ready to find the purrfect home either through adoption or rescue.
UPDATE: Kiyoshi & Matilda returned to HSOV on May 18, 2023 and are now enjoying the freedom of our HSOV Free-Roaming/Open Cat Room .. We'd love to see these girls adopted together.
Rescue groups may contact our HSOV Feline Rescue Coordinator via email (sharonpaul2@suddenlink.net). We can usually help with transportation.
