You've seen those signs on people's gates - "Beware of Dog." Have you ever seen one that says, "Beware of Cat"? I'll bet you haven't. We are more civilized creatures. There's a church that posted this sign: "No bungee cords - we encourage leaps of faith!" That's a bit what it's like when you go to choose a pet, but the pet chooses you. It's called trust! I'm Kirby. Did you know that my name comes from a Norse word that means "church" and "village"? Some folks think black cats are scary - I hope you're not among them, because I'm a sweet, gentle boy once I get to know someone. I rub on people's legs and follow them around the room now that I'm settled in a bit. I came here because my person was moving and couldn't take me along. I liked sleeping with her sometimes, and I liked the children in my home. But - while I can be very sweet and docile, my behavior can be unpredictable. Change is unsettling, and being in a new place with many other cats and new people is quite different from being in a comfortable, familiar home with people I loved. When I am startled or upset, I lash out. I will need time and a patient adopter who will learn to recognize my body language. I will do best in a quiet home with only adults or perhaps older children. I do like to play; keep in mind that I may become overstimulated, and this may cause me to take swipes at hands or arms as well. Experienced cat people will recognize these signs. I am adoptable. I am lovable. I am a sweet boy, and I would love to belong to someone who will take a leap of faith, open your heart, and believe that I will be your beloved Kirby for the long haul.
Adoption fee $100 + microchip fee $30 + tax
