About Kiwi

Kiwi is a charming cat looking for his forever home. He's currently available for adoption in New York, NY, at ACC's Mobile Adoption Event. While he may be shy at first, he warms up quickly with gentle pets, often leaning into hands and closing his lovely golden eyes in contentment. After being brought in with his friend Loki due to their previous owner's unfortunate situation, Kiwi's now ready to make someone very happy. Described as affectionate and active, Kiwi has proven to be friendly with strangers and children. However, he didn’t get along with a large dog in his previous home, so a dog-free environment is ideal. He enjoys being brushed, carried, and might just make the perfect lap cat! Note that he had some litter box issues previously, which are being looked into. Kiwi is already neutered and has passed his behavior evaluation with flying colors. Come meet this sweet kitty at the Manhattan Care Center and see if he's the one for you! Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
