Ken

Ken might try to convince you he's a shy boy at first, but give him a few good scratches and the act doesn't last very long.

When meeting someone new, Ken's first instinct can be to find somewhere safe and quietly take everything in. But once the pats begin, it doesn't take long for him to completely soften. Soon he's leaning into your hand, enjoying every scratch, and even rolling onto his back once he's comfortable. Underneath that cautious first impression is an incredibly sweet and smoochy boy who clearly loves affection.

Ken seems to be the kind of cat who simply needs a moment to make sure everything is okay before letting his guard down. Once he knows he's safe, his gentle, affectionate personality comes through beautifully. We think he'll really enjoy having a home where he can settle into a familiar routine, find his favourite cosy spots, and have someone nearby who's always willing to provide another head scratch.

Ken also has a minor Grade 1 dental condition that doesn't require surgery and is generally reversible with good dental care at home, such as regular tooth brushing and a dental friendly diet.

If you're looking for a gentle boy who goes from shy to smoochy with a little kindness, Ken could be the perfect match. We encourage you to come and meet Ken at our North Melbourne shelter as soon as possible, as our cats cannot be placed on hold. We think there's a very affectionate little companion waiting for the right person to discover him.
