Meet Kirby, a sweet soul who just needs a little time to shine! Initially shy, Kirby will thrive in a home with patient and calm people who can give her the space she needs to feel comfortable. She loves to take treats from your hand and will start to play once she knows she's safe. Once Kirby warms up, she enjoys gentle pets and will even tolerate being picked up. With her goofy personality, she often finds herself in hilarious situations-she's a bit of a klutz and can be prone to falling off things while playing! For her safety, it's best to keep her in lower spaces or on carpeted areas. If you're looking for a lovable companion who will blossom with your love and patience, Kirby might be the perfect fit for you! Come meet her and help her discover the joy of a forever home!
