Kai's Story

- Amazing cat who loves attention and pets <br/><br/>- Strong, solid guy with gorgeous coloring <br/><br/>- Seems to be interested in his cat neighbors here at the ARL, so he may do well with a cat buddy in his new home, after a slow introduction <br/><br/>- This cat had a urethral obstruction (more info at ARL)<br/><br/>This cat has shown signs of overstimulation while in the shelter. Lots of handling, playing with hands, and excessive petting can cause them to overstimulate, which can result in scratching and/or biting. This cat is looking for experienced cat owners who will watch this cat's body language while interacting to note signs of overstimulation (tail waving, fur rippling, dilated pupils, ears turned back and quick body movements) and be willing to respect their boundaries. This cat will also benefit from interactive toys such as wands and ball spinners while playing. We are happy to speak with you more when you visit and can provide post-adoption resources. If you can give this cat mental stimulation, patience and space when they need it, please consider adopting! They would love to be your sidekick and buddy for life!<br/><br/>All adoptable cats and kittens are spayed/neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations (rabies and FVRCP as appropriate for their age)<br/> Primary Color: Tabby Weight: 13.36lbs Age: 4yrs 2mths 0wks Animal has been Neutered
