About Kyle

Meet Kyle: a 13-year-old Turkish Van whose heart is as striking as her spots. When Kyle decides you're her person, she's all in - nuzzling into you, curling up in your lap, and coming to find you when she wants cuddles and pets. Thirteen years in, she knows exactly who she is: a sweet, devoted companion with a feisty streak.Kyle is what cat people lovingly call spicy. When she's overstimulated or her space is invaded, she'll say so with a scratch or a nip. She's on Prozac and it's helping a lot - she's noticeably gentler, and the scratching and biting are much less frequent. She needs a patient, cat-savvy person who can read her signals and give her room when she asks for it. In return you get a loyal, affectionate cat who loves deeply on her own terms.Her story is a love story. Kyle was adopted in Atlanta around 2014 by two roommates who fostered her, fell for her one-of-a-kind personality, and made her family. She's been with one of her original adopters ever since, moving from Atlanta to California, San Francisco to San Diego. These days she shares her home with two toddlers, and the noise and chaos of a busy household has become too much for her - she started scratching and biting, sometimes unprovoked, which isn't safe for her or the kids. This is a heartbreaking, loving rehoming, not a bad cat: in a calm environment, her soft side shines.A few important things:- Kyle is FeLV+. It hasn't caused her any medical issues, but she needs to be your only cat, or live only with other FeLV+ cats.- She needs a calm, adult-only home, or one with older children who understand and respect a cat's boundaries. No young children.- She's a senior special-needs girl who deserves a home that treasures her exactly as she is.Kyle is currently living in Palo Alto, CA 94301. If you have a quiet home, a patient heart, and a lap that's going unused, Kyle would love to meet you. Please note:Kyle is a Special Needs cat.Kyle needs a home with no young children.
