Why I need a new home

Relocating

My story

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

Hi, I’m Kirby! I’m a 1-year-old American Shorthair looking for a new home because my family is moving and can’t take me. I’m gentle and shy—I never scratch or bite people and run away when scared. Once I trust you, I become a cuddly “twisty noodle” who rolls around when you come home. I’m litter-box trained but need a clean home; if clothes are on the floor, I may pee on them. I tip over my bowls when food or water is low to remind you. I loved my tiny sister Minnie, who had dwarfism and passed in September,and I miss having a playmate. The only other cat I’ve known is an older grumpy one I fight with, so introductions to new cats must be slow and careful. I may do well with a gentle, friendly cat like my sister was. I’m very affectionate once I settle in and love chatting, bird-watching, and being near my humans. I’d love a patient, tidy human who wants a sweet, loyal companion to grow with, someone who understands my sensitive nature and will give me the safe, warm home I deserve
