About Kirby

Kirby is a sweet tabby who’s got his own ideas about comfort—he’ll choose the floor or a cozy pile of laundry over any bed you offer. His plush brown coat makes him look a little chubby, but it’s all fluff, not fat. Kirby is all about low-key companionship and thrives where there’s a laid-back routine. At first, he might keep to himself, but once he’s settled in, he’s happiest lounging near you, soaking up pets and attention. He enjoys having another cat around and would fit in best somewhere he has a feline companion to hang out with. Kirby does well in quieter environments, so older kids or mellow dogs would be a better match than high-energy situations. Give this cuddlebug a spot to nap and you’ve got a loyal friend for life.
