Description:

Meet Kirby:

Late one night, I spotted a tiny male kitten pacing alone by the side of the road. He was just six weeks old, and it seemed he had been left behind—no sign of his mother or littermates anywhere. I found him near the curb, and I couldn’t help but wonder if he’d been unable to follow them across the street. It was dark, and he was so small, dirty, covered in fleas, and suffering from an eye infection.

Thankfully, all of that is behind him now. With some care and love, he’s been cleaned up, treated, and is well on his way to a healthy life. He’s already started his distemper vaccinations and has been microchipped. Despite his rough start, he’s full of energy and affection. He plays hard, runs even harder, and then crashes into the deepest, sweetest naps.

He’s completely litterbox trained and happily eats both wet and dry food. He’s also incredibly adaptable—unbothered by my senior cat and perfectly at ease around my dog. It’s as if he’s always been part of the family.

He truly is a lucky little guy to have been found that night, especially in such darkness. And I feel just as lucky to have found him. You will love him too!

* Kittens under 4 months tend to do best in homes with another cat or kitten for socialization.

When you adopt a pet from Midwest Animal Rescue and Services, your adoption fee covers: Microchip and registration, Core Vaccines including Rabies, Distemper and bordetella, age appropriate heartworm testing or FeLV-FIV testing, sterilization, heartworm/flea-tick prevention and deworming while in foster care.

Long Distance Adoptions: Animals who are not fully vaccinated and altered are not eligible for long distance adoption. We require a meet of the pet prior to adoption, which means coming to MARS. We do not transport to potential adopters.

How to learn more about a pet: Complete the application (click on the button above) to start our process for adopting or fostering a MARS Pet.

Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks.

Post Adoption: Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. We highly recommend Pet Insurance. Adoption fees are only part of the expense of owning a pet, so we ask you to consider the costs for the life of the pet before adoption. We recommend pet insurance.

Pet Breeds: The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility or Shelter partner. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed.

If you choose to DNA test your adopted pet, test results may vary from company to company and our breed guess may not be reflected in those results as it is just that, our best guess without knowing a pet’s full history.
