NS SPCA Adoptable HIGHLIGHT – Mr. Kiwi

Gender: Male
Site: Dartmouth

Meet Mr. Kiwi. This 9 year old boy is looking for his furever home. He was a surrender into our care due to his previous owners health condition. Currently in foster home, this is what his foster has to say about him…

“Kiwi may be getting up there in years but he is still full of energy! He loves to chase prey-shaped toys on strings, especially if they pop out from under a pillow or blanket, and occasionally gets the zoomies when he’s feeling particularly happy. Mr. Kiwi is also quite the chatterbox! If you speak to him, he is very likely to answer and keep the conversation going.

Although Kiwi often has a resting grumpy face, he is the biggest sweetheart and will always greet you at the door when you come home! He loves receiving undivided attention and a ton of scratches, especially under the chin. But, most of all, he looks forward to snuggling up with you! He will begin purring as soon as he cuddles up in your lap and he particularly loves to snuggle up on top of your legs for bedtime! Even if he isn’t in the mood for cuddles, he will find a comfy pillow or blanket to curl up on nearby you.

Mr. Kiwi is a little slow to warm up to guests and needs some time to adjust to new people, but with a little bit of time to get used to a guest, he will quickly find an opportunity to receive scratches and snuggles.”

Kiwi is looking for a home with no other animals and no young children as he wasn’t comfortable with either in his previous home. Children over the age of 10 would likely be good for Mr. Kiwi. Kiwi also has a condition called Osteoarthritis. He will need to be on medication for life for pain management. Mr. Kiwi will also need to use only glass or ceramic dishes as he has skin sensitivities to it.
