About Ken

Ken is a long, tall boy with mostly white fur accented by orange patches and an orange tabby tail. He's got a look reminiscent of a toasted marshmallow Jelly Belly and weighs in around 12 pounds. Ken came into foster care as a kitten alongside his sister Barbie, and he’s still completely devoted to her. At first, Ken tends to be shy around new people, and he gives his affection on his own terms—he’s definitely not a stereotypical lap cat, and more likely to be curled up in a corner, watching the action. Once comfortable, he’ll reward you with a solid purr. Ken is independent, rarely seeking cuddles from people, but he’s highly entertaining to have around—especially when he’s amusing himself with ball toys, scaling his scratching posts, or pestering Barbie. He’s house trained and gets along well with other cats. Ken’s biggest wish is to find a forever home where he and Barbie can stay together. Give them the home they have been waiting for.
