About Dirk

Dirk arrived at our shelter as a stray alongside his two brothers. This young guy is quite the character, with a playful spirit that shines through. He can be a bit rough and tumble, making him a great companion for an active cat who enjoys playtime. With a birth date of March 20, 2026, Dirk is still just a kitten and has a lot of growing to do. As a bonus, he is FIV/FELV negative, microchipped, and up-to-date on all age-appropriate vaccinations. Dirk has an umbilical hernia that will need to be addressed during his neutering, but for now, he's not old enough for the procedure. If you take a special interest in him, you’ll need to arrange for both surgeries once he's ready. Located in Waupun, WI, he's eager to find his forever home. Don't miss the chance to add this playful little guy to your family. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and let's get started.
