Kitty Gon-Jin - Fostered in Omaha - American Shorthair Cat for Adoption in Overland Park, Kansas

Kitty-Gon Jinn — The Handsome Mustached Jedi

**Male • Black & White Tuxedo • Born May 4 — Star Wars Day** *“May the paws be with you.”*

Meet **Kitty-Gon Jinn**, a handsome little tuxedo Jedi with a very distinguished mustache and a serious case of *I'm-not-sure-about-you-yet* face.

Kitty-Gon is a shy guy at first. He prefers to observe his surroundings from a safe distance before deciding whether you are worthy of joining his inner circle. Fortunately, his defenses can be lowered with one powerful force: **freeze-dried raw treats.** His Jedi training clearly did not prepare him for snack bribery.

Once he trusts you, Kitty-Gon starts showing you his playful side. He LOVES to climb and would happily patrol the highest levels of your home like a tiny furry Jedi Master. Wand toys, chase toys, and anything that moves are all worthy opponents.

He will need a patient adopter who understands that trust takes time. He'll also need slow introductions to other cats. He's currently frightened of dogs, so a dog-free home may be the best fit for him while he continues working on his confidence.

Kitty-Gon may not immediately run into your arms—but give him time, treats, patience, and a little love, and you'll discover the sweet little boy hiding underneath that cautious exterior.

**Adoption Force Level:**

**Snack Motivation:**

**Mustache Magnificence:**

**Likelihood of becoming your tiny shadow:** Extremely high once trust is achieved.

His adoption philosophy is simple: **“There is no try... unless you mean trying to win me over with treats. Then absolutely try.”**

Kitty Gon will be neutered and have kitty shots. He will be microchipped and ready for a new home. His adoption fee is $200.00. You can apply at www.bassetandbeagle.org
