Kenya - Tabby and Calico Cat for Adoption in Ocala, Florida

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Hi, I’m Kenya, a soft‑colored little tabico girl (part tabby, part calico) with thoughtful eyes and a heart that opens slowly but beautifully. I’m the kind of cat who likes to take my time getting to know new people and new cats. I’ll watch you first, making sure the world feels calm and safe before I decide to say hello.

But once I realize you’re kind, something shifts — I start accepting pets and letting you see the affectionate side I keep tucked away. And if you happen to have a snack? Well... that’s one of the quickest ways to earn my trust. I love a good treat.

I’m a very active girl who loves to play with other kitties, some say I have the energy of a Bengal cat. As much as I love chasing and playing with other cats, I do take my time getting to know them first. I would definitely do best with another cat in the home but I need one who is willing to put up with some hisses and pretending I don't like them at first.

Estimated Birthdate: 6/29/25
