My name is Kiri!

What my friends at ACC say about me:

I have lived with cats in my previous home.

I'm an independent kitty who likes to do my own thing.

I am looking for a home with a patient person.

Kiri is an adult cat that may not have had many interactions with humans from an early age. He is apprehensive of people and while showing no aggressive behaviors, he appears wary of human contact. While he may attempt to avoid interactions initially, he does allow pets and touch. It is difficult to predict if he will respond to socialization but we recommend offering high value treats and food to help build a positive association to humans. Please be mindful that older cats will require more time and skill in order for them to be comfortable around people. Due to the behaviors seen in the care center, we feel that this cat will do best in an experienced, adult only home.

A volunteer writes: Some cats make shelter life look so easy and for others there's a visible effort as they try to figure things out. Kiri came to us from a home with many other cats when their guardian was hospitalized and he fits in the latter group. Looking out at Adoptions, Kiri puts so much thought into it but is unsure about where he fits except he knows that he would really like to fit in somewhere. Gallantly trying to meet us half way, Kiri politely and adorably sniffs the air when we offer treats and then eats the ones that are closest to him. Though Kiri likes to keep one eye on us while he does this, we've been working on helping him to build positive associations with people since it's likely our Kiri hasn't had many chances to meet new ones. Asking for a forever family may be a big ask but Kiri's really hoping you'll give him the time to hear him out.
