About Kiwi

Make their next chapter their best one yet. Introducing Coconut & Kiwi, a bonded brother and sister pair ready to bring joy to a patient and loving household. Rescued during a TNR effort last winter, these adorable siblings have settled into foster care and are starting to show their true colors. Coconut is a gentle boy with a fondness for head scratches and, once he trusts you, will curl up beside you for snuggles. Kiwi is the shyer of the two, but with a little time, she enjoys being petted and will happily accept affection when she feels safe. Both cats adore gazing out windows, eagerly await treat time, and love playing with toys, especially a laser pointer. In their foster home, they've shown little interest in mingling with the resident cats, choosing instead to keep to themselves. Because of their somewhat timid nature, they would thrive best in a quiet home without dogs or small children, where they can be given plenty of patience and understanding. Once they settle in, their sweet personalities are sure to shine bright! Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
