About Krispin

Krispin cuts a sophisticated figure—a cat with a stoic attitude and very clear boundaries. He likes his independence and picks his moments for affection, settling for a few head, face, or neck scratches before letting you know he’s had enough. Sometimes he’ll toss in a playful nip to get his point across. Krispin gets a kick out of chasing other cats and roughhousing; less adventurous felines may not share his humor. Things that move, especially a red laser light, catch his attention, but you won’t win him over with wet food. While he can be a little on edge if caught off guard, Krispin thrives with someone who understands that here, the balance of power favors the cat. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
