About Ken

Ken is one of the shelter's favorites, and it's easy to see why. He's a small, black Domestic Short Hair who gets along effortlessly with people, cats, and dogs—he's made friends with everyone. Ken keeps his kennel clean and consistently uses his litter box, which makes him easy to live with. After surviving a large group outbreak of Panleukopenia in August 2023, Ken developed a lingering respiratory issue. He has persistent runny eyes, a drippy nose, and sneezes regularly, but the strange part is he never seems to pass it to the other cats around him. Multiple vet teams have tried a handful of remedies, but the cold simply sticks around. Ken shows no signs of letting it slow him down, and he's continued to charm everyone at the shelter. He's looking for someone who understands that a chronic sniffle comes as part of the package. If you're up for a little extra care, Ken is more than ready to return the love.
