27. Kiba
Adult · Male · Domestic Short Hair (short coat) · 16 mi from McKinney




Meet Kiba, a two-year-old laid-back gentleman with an independent streak and a very thoughtful little soul. He is generally quiet, observant, and low-energy, preferring cozy spots to nap and keeping a watchful eye on everything around him. He can be guarded at first and may take the long way around unfamiliar cats rather than engage, but he has never been aggressive. He is litter box trained, scratching post trained, and very good at communicating when he wants food, attention, or a little playtime.
Read more about Kiba
Kiba's favorite relationship is with his little sister, Jinx. She is the one cat who can reliably convince him to wrestle, play, and let his guard down, and their bond is incredibly sweet to watch. He tolerates other cats but would do best with space to retreat and decompress. He has not been exposed to dogs or children. With people, Kiba is affectionate on his own terms and prefers to come to you rather than be picked up or fussed over. He may never be a velcro cat, but he would likely enjoy having one or two people he can quietly claim as his own.
Kiba and Jinx originally came to us through our PASS program while their owner was working to get back on their feet. Their owner ultimately made the difficult decision to surrender them both so they could find loving permanent homes. They do not have to be adopted together, but Kiba would absolutely love to stay with Jinx, and if you are interested in bringing home both siblings, we would be happy to waive one adoption fee, making the total adoption fee for both cats $100. Independent, observant, sweet, and very particular about his preferences... a true Virgo.

Adopting a cat in McKinney
Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the cat, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your cat in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.
Senior cats are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate cat, ask the rescues about their older residents.
Kittens go quickly, especially in spring and summer. If you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon, and think about adopting two: young cats keep each other company and out of mischief.
