My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Friendly, Calm, Sweet

Meet Kibble, a sweet, tailless guy who loves people and napping! What he lacks in tail he makes up for in friendliness. Kibble loves a good head scratch or snuggle session with anyone who will give him attention. He's always reaching his little arm out of his enclosure hoping to grab the attention of whoever is walking by!

Kibble is always down for cuddling with people and even prefers it over playtime. He's also a big foodie who gets excited when he knows that food is on the way! This is pretty much the only time he meows, since he's so calm and easygoing.

Kibble came to APA! with a tail amputation and neck wound, and at the time he was incontinent and required manual expressions. He has made incredible improvement and no longer requires expressions, now able to use the litter box unassisted!

Kibble receives a couple of easy medications to help manage his pain and stress, and to help prevent UTIs. The people at his forever home would just have to monitor his progress for continued improvement in his continence. It's an easy thing to do in exchange for all the love Kibble will give you!

We're not sure if Kibble has met other cats, dogs, or kids before, so he would need slow introductions to other pets at his forever home. He could also be totally content as an only kitty, taking in all the attention from his humans all to himself. The way Kibble sees it, that's more head scratches and cuddle time for him! If you're looking for a sweet and cuddly guy, ask about meeting Kibble!

All APA! cats are fully vetted, spayed or neutered, and have updated vaccines and a microchip. Lifetime support is offered by our Cat Behavior Team.

For further information or to meet Kibble, please email adopt@austinpetsalive.org.
