Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption in Royal Oak, Michigan

Meet Kiwi Bird

Hi, I’m Kiwi Bird—yes, I’m as cute as I sound. I’m a stunning little tabico girl under a year old with a busy schedule and zero intention of slowing down.

I like to maximize my pets, so you’ll often find me pacing back and forth like I’m on a mission—because I am. The mission? Attention. I’ll do laps around the room, hop into your lap, roll around for some love, and then hop down again like, “okay, next round.” I’ve recently decided I am a lap cat… just, you know, in intervals. I’m a busy bee.

I’m also a tiny goofball who keeps things interesting. I love other cats—like, really love them. My current bestie is Colin, and I’d do best in a home with another playful kitty friend to keep me company.

I can be a little skittish at first, but I’m gaining confidence every day. With a little patience and a lot of love, I’ll show you just how sweet and fun I really am. Because of my sensitive side, I’d probably do best with older kids who understand my vibe.

If you’re looking for a playful, affectionate, slightly chaotic little sidekick who will keep you on your toes (and your lap… occasionally), I’m your girl.

Let’s get those pet rotations started!
