My story

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

Kit Kat is ready to be your snuggle buddy! This sweet and playful guy loves nothing more than spending time with people—whether it`s lounging on a lap or getting some gentle head rubs. He’s a big fan of soft pets and will head-butt you for more when you stop. While Kit Kat enjoys a good play session, he’s more about the personal attention than the toys.

Kit Kat is friendly, always on the lookout for his next meal (he’s very food motivated!), and enjoys hanging out with both his human visitors and even the family dog in his previous home! He does best with people who respect his boundaries, especially when it comes to knowing when he’s had enough pets or when he wants to be left alone for a bit. This makes him a good fit for a household with older children who can practice consent-based petting.

Kit Kat may be shy at first, but with a little patience and love, he’s sure to warm up and become the affectionate companion you’ve been looking for!
