Kiko the cat has ‘gorgeous blue eyes’ and a loving nature. He needs a new home

You can’t keep a good cat down, especially one as charming, loving, and social as Kiko.

Kiko is a lynx point Siamese mix who’s estimated to be less than two years old.

Although he’s faced adversity, he’s showing the world he’s got moxie.

Kiko arrived at a San Luis Obispo County Animal Services shelter after being clipped by a car, and though undoubtedly in pain, he impressed everyone with his bubbly and affectionate personality.

Veterinary staff determined Kiko’s pelvis was broken, and surgery would be needed to restore pain-free mobility.

Woods Humane Society in San Luis Obispo stepped up to the plate by offering to take Kiko into its adoption program — providing the surgery, additional medical care and time Kiko would need to heal.

Once at Woods, Kiko’s adorable expression; gorgeous blue eyes and welcoming personality made him the first kitty every visitor wanted to meet.

Even though injured, his loving nature always took center stage, making it clear, Kiko is a friend to everyone and a stranger to no one.

Happily, his surgery was successful.

Soon he’ll be cone-free. His limp will be a thing of the past, and his surgery scar will be covered with his beautiful fur.

Now it’s time for Kiko to find his lifelong, loving home — ideally with someone looking for an indoor kitty.

He’s a playful and affectionate lap cat whose antics and loving nature are bound to make any cat lover smile.

Kiko’s a special kitty who’s untroubled by the past and yearns for a love-filled future.

If you would like to meet Kiko or any Woods Humane Society pet, please call 805-543-9316, ext. 10, to schedule an appointment.
