Kevin is a one-of-a-kind kitty, literally. With his unique ear (the result of a major hematoma) and expressive meows, he’s got a look and personality that are all his own. He’ll greet you with chirps and chatter, especially when he’s feeling sociable, and he’s never shy about letting you know he’s around.

Kevin isn’t one for being picked up or held, but don’t let that fool you, he loves affection on his terms. His absolute favorite? A good brushing session while he lounges like the handsome king he is. He’s the kind of cat who will rub up on furniture, nap in sunny spots, and quietly enjoy being part of your world without asking too much. Be forewarned, though, you must be savvy at reading kitty body language; when he has had enough brushing or petting, he says "NO MEANS NO" and has been known to smack his human friend with a murder mitten to make them stop.

This slightly cantankerous guy is low maintenance, vocal, and full of character, perfect for someone who appreciates a cat with clear boundaries and a big heart. This guy is around 5-6 years old (best guess), so all out of kitten crazies and ready to just chill with you.

Kevin would likely benefit from an indoor-outdoor lifestyle or a nice big catio, and several rousing wand-toy sessions per day to help him work out his energies. We feel he is a bit frustrated by his shelter captivity, which increases his sporadic cranky moments.

We don't recommend Kevin for children, and the other cats in his cat room tend to give him the side-eye, wondering if he's in his calm mood or his cranky mood, so he may do best as an only kitty for a smart cat whisperer.

All pets arrive spayed/neutered, dewormed, microchipped and vaccinated. Adoption fee for Kevin is a suggested minimum of $50 (more gratefully accepted). All pets are placed with a 30-day money-back trial period, to give pet and family enough time to discover any unknown allergies or other conflicts.

Can't come to Republic? Don't let that stop you! We have monthly transports to the Seattle area, delivering adopted pets to their new owners. If you can add a little to your donation to help us cover our volunteer driver's expenses, that would be great!
