Kiko has special needs due to a chronic eye condition that requires lifelong medication, but he remains attentive and loving in a safe, quiet home.

About Kiko

Kiko is a striking 10-year-old domestic long hair with a lush black and white coat and an impressive talent for stealing attention. Lately, he’s been the unofficial office manager—flopping across keyboards, angling for head rubs, and giving gentle reminders if the pets slow down. He comes alive around people, unashamedly affectionate, and relishes every moment of lap time or gentle scratches. Kiko has a past: he arrived withdrawn, likely from pain caused by Ketatitis Eosinophilic—an eye condition that once threatened his sight. With diligent medication and good veterinary care, he’s not just stabilized, but thriving, loving, and every bit the dynamic companion. He will need lifetime medication and regular eyes checks, so he’s looking for someone willing to make that long-term commitment if blindness ever develops. Kiko is best as the only pet in a quiet, low-traffic home. He’s not fond of other cats or dogs, but he’s more than enough company for anyone seeking a snuggly, devoted friend. In return for his comfort and routine, Kiko will spoil his new people with gentle pats, snuggles, and devoted company. Ready for a cat who gives as much as he takes? Your new coworker is waiting. They are ready to love you; are you ready to apply?
