My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Kipo - The Gentle Brown Tabby Seeking a Patient Friend! Enter the world of Kipo, a beautiful brown tabby with a heart as gentle as her markings. Kipo is not just a cat; she's a delightful companion in search of a patient friend to share a lifetime of love and warmth.

Personality: Kipo's personality is a delightful mix of playfulness and calmness. She often engages in playful antics and occasionally channels her energy into laid-back moments. While very often shy and fearful, her perpetual curiosity shines through, offering glimpses of her inner charm.

Social Interaction: Kipo gets along famously with other cats, fostering a sense of companionship. However, she is yet to meet a dog. Her interactions with people are nuanced - she hides from small children and strangers, exercising caution. With older children and adults, Kipo is selective, showcasing a discerning approach to socializing.

Play Preferences: Chasing and pouncing toys hold a special place in Kipo's heart, reflecting her playful spirit. Lounging around and observing the world from her favorite window perch are activities that bring her comfort and joy.

Interaction with People: Tolerating being handled, Kipo can be initially shy. However, she warms up quickly, especially if treats or toys are involved. This gentle tabby appreciates the extra effort and patience involved in building trust and connections.

Adoption Considerations: Kipo is an ideal companion for a patient individual or family willing to provide a calm and understanding environment. Her tolerance for handling and quick warmth with treats or toys make her a rewarding addition to a loving home. If you're ready to be the patient friend that Kipo is looking for, the rewards will be a bond that lasts a lifetime.

In Summary: Kipo is not just a kitten; she's a gentle soul seeking a patient companion. If you're ready to open your heart to a feline friend who blossoms with care and understanding, come meet Kipo and embark on a journey of mutual trust and companionship!

Kipo has been spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and is negative on the feline triple SNAP test.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

Adoption events are held regularly in the community at Petco Winchester VA every other Saturday. Additional events are held at area festivals, wineries, breweries, and parks. Approved adopters can schedule a private meet and greet with their chosen pet. Same day adoptions are not done, so please apply in advance of any adoption event to give us time to check vet and personal references and to complete the video home visit.
