My story

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

My foster writes:
She's always greats you in front of the door and will rub herself
against you all the time. She also loves scratches under the
neck! She's a very smart cat, a bit too smart, and you can find
her lifting up toilet seats or playing with her water fountain. As
long as you respect her space when she's hiding or playing on
her own she will be super loving!

What my friends at ACC say about me:


Kira has made spectacular improvements and was lying calmly on top of the den, appeared relaxed, sniffed treats and then allowed all petting, leaning in gently for cheek rubs, a huge contract to when she was first assessed. She was not able to be coaxed off the den but remained calm.

Kira interacts with the observer, solicits & appreciates attention, is easy to handle and tolerates all petting. This cat is showing behavior appropriate for cat parents with either an average amount of cat experience or demonstrate a basic understanding of typical cat behavior.



A volunteer writes: This week's most improved award goes to beautiful Kira, who arrived at the Care Center standoffish and fractious but soon settled in and became a calm affection monger who eagerly leans in for cheek rubs. We understand why she wasn't happy at first; Kira came from a home, and the sudden change in her surroundings was tough to handle. But this intuitive girl must have realized that there's a real forever home out there for her, and showing off her super manners and social smarts will help her land it. Kira's at that perfect cat age where she no longer has crazy kitten neediness but can entertain herself when she's not scoring pettings and warming the laps of her people. Meet her at the Manhattan Care Center today!
