People expect cats to perform like they're on America’s Got Talent—but I’m just Kurt: a cute, curious cat with little fangs and a big heart. After 6 years in the shelter, I’ve learned to love people. I just need someone patient enough to love me back. 💛 #AdoptDontShop

Tired of noise, parties & small talk? Same. 😼
I’m Ivy—bold, opinionated, and loyal once you earn it. I loathe cats, might tolerate dogs, and crave a quiet home with my human soulmate. Let’s be weird together. 💕
