Ibuki - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Redmond, Washington

You may not always see Ibuki coming...but you'll definitely notice when he's gone.

Named after the lightning-fast ninja from Street Fighter, this adorable kitten has mastered the art of stealth. One minute he's quietly observing from across the room, and the next he's somehow behind you, batting at your shoelaces like he's been practicing secret techniques all morning.

Ibuki is quick, clever, and endlessly entertaining. He loves scaling cat trees, weaving through furniture with ninja-like precision, and launching surprise attacks on feather toys that never saw him coming. Every crinkly ball, dangling string, or cardboard box is another mission waiting to be completed- and she tackles each one with enthusiasm.

But even the greatest ninja knows when to lower the mask.

Once his adventures are complete, Ibuki transforms into a sweet, affectionate companion who enjoys curling up beside her favorite people for a well-earned nap. He loves being part of the action, whether she's supervising your work from the desk, "helping" with chores, or simply keeping a watchful eye on her kingdom from the nearest sunny windowsill.

Fearless, playful, and just a little mischievous, Ibuki brings the perfect balance of excitement and affection. He's looking for a forever home where her acrobatic skills, curious nature, and loving heart will be appreciated every single day.

So if you're ready to welcome a tiny ninja into your life, don't wait too long- Ibuki has a habit of stealing hearts before anyone realizes he's made her move.

Please note about kitten adoptions:

They can go together or individually to a home with another cat- but we do not advise adopting a single kitten.

It is best for most kittens to be adopted in pairs- or go home with another cat. This helps avoid "Tarzan syndrome" where single kittens become difficult because they have no one to play with and bite them back. This can become quite challenging to manage as they age- and is often a reason people desire to surrender cats later.

Also, nearly all who started out noting they only want one cat, come back about 6-9 months later and ask for another as a companion- however, it is much simpler to start with two that are bonded from the start.
