About Kiki Offered By

Kiki is a confident, independent cat about 5 to 6 years old, searching for a new home after her owner’s recent move into memory care. Five years ago, she was adopted from a shelter and has been deeply loved since. Kiki enjoys a relationship rooted in respect—she’ll request affection on her own terms, whether it’s lap time or a few head scratches, but is clear about her boundaries. She would thrive with someone who’s experienced with cats and can appreciate her self-sufficient nature. She’s lived both inside and outside, doing well with safe outdoor access like a fenced yard, and is reliable with her litter box indoors. With her history, a calm, child-free home suits her best—potentially as a solo pet or with a mellow cat. If you like a companion who is affectionate yet enjoys her independence, Kiki could be a great fit. She is currently in Lake Oswego and looking for her next person to connect with.
