Story
Kip is a sweet, silly, playful boy, who is looking for his forever home. He wants a family who will play with him, love him, and give him the attention and caring that he deserves. Kip is approximately 5.5 months old. He is healthy; he is FeLV/FIV negative. His adoption includes his full series of FVRCP (distemper) and Rabies vaccines; full fecal testing and deworming; and his neuter. Kip loves other cats, but isn't always sure how to contain his enthusiasm, so some other cats can find him overwhelming. He is nervous but curious about dogs, and with slow introductions will do well. Kip is friendly and affectionate with everyone he meets, including children. (However his enthusiasm makes him a poor fit for very young kids.) Kip loves chasing wand toys, and playing with toy mice. He also enjoys playing with ribbons and wand toys. Kip loves attention and affection from people, and wants to stay with you whenever possible. Kip will thrive in a home with another young cat who can be a playmate, role model, and friend, and with a family who can give him the time, attention, and love that he so deserves.
