**Kris and his brother, Howie, are considered a bonded pair and must be adopted out together.**
Meet Kris! Kris is a five year old neutered Domestic Short Hair. This sweet boy was surrendered alongside his littermate due to no fault of their own, when their owner's change in living situation made them unable to keep their pets. Kris and his brother, Howie, had been with their previous owners nearly their whole lives, so we ask that you give them some patience as they adjust to the shelter!
Kris is feeling very shy at the moment, but he has never been aggressive with us. Even with him being so nervous in this new environment, he has been so sweet, and the worst he does is hide. This gentle soul just needs a home that can give him the time to decompress and feel safe again! Kris is a true foodie, so treats will go a long way in earning his trust. Be careful, though, as Kris' love for food sometimes leads to him being a thief! He will get into any food left out, even climbing on counters and table to get it, so you have to make sure everything is put away.
Something very important to note about Kris is that he has been diagnosed with a condition called gingivostomatitis, which led to him needing some teeth removed. This condition isn't one that requires daily medication or anything like that, but Kris will need regular check ups to ensure he's staying healthy. This will be an added expense, so please keep that in mind when considering Kris and help make sure he goes to a home where he will receive the care he needs. Kris' brother, Howie, has the same condition. This isn't harmful to their quality of life as long as their owner will stay on top of it and make sure they're receiving the proper care.
This sweetheart does love being around people, though he isn't necessarily glued to their sides. He seems to enjoy laying across the room and lovingly staring at his owners with a look of contentment on his face. Kris can be a bit goofy sometimes and makes people laugh by always meowing after someone sneezes. He also loves to play with crinkly ball toys and will carry them around in his mouth, which is very fun to watch him do! Kris would blossom best and quickest in a home that is calm and quiet. He has not been around children previously, nor has he been around any animals outside of his brother. Meet and greets would be recommended with kiddos or pets, though we think Kris would adjust ok as long as all other residents in the household are respectful. We are requiring that Kris be adopted with his brother Howie, as they have been together their whole lives and are very bonded to one another. There is a discount when adopting two pets at once, though!
Kris is litter box trained and has been given his first round of vaccinations. He is now up for adoption and eager to get the heck outta this scary place and into a committed home! If interested in Kris and his brother Howie, please stop by the shelter and see if they're your kitty soul mates!
