Kieko was adopted into a home where there were several other cats. A very shy and fearful girl herself, this home was not a good fit for her personality or needs, so her previous owners decided to rehome her. Because of her behavior issues and history of shyness, Our Companions welcomed her to our Sanctuary in 2021 at the age of 9.
It took time for Kieko to settle into her new room and you would often find her relaxing or napping in the cat hut or perched cat beds. She started to become more comfortable with people in her room, but would still keep her distance from her preferred safe spaces. With a bit more patience and time, Kieko really started to open up to a few friends that would often visit her. She still continues to surprise us at how affectionate she’s become! She doesn’t venture out to her catio often, but on sunny days, staff will go out there with her where she can listen to the birds and smell the fresh air. She’s a very quiet cat with simple needs, and we’re so grateful she has bonded with people more and more by each passing day! We hope we can find a quiet home where she can continue getting the love she deserves!
