Kibibi | Bristol Animal Rescue Centre

About Kibibi

Beautiful Kibibi was signed over to us through no fault of her own and is now looking for a calm and quiet home to call her own. This stunning long-haired tortoiseshell girl was so shut down and nervous when she first arrived, she would flinch away from her carers. After giving her the space she needed, Kibibi is now a loving and affectionate lady that loves a fuss and really enjoys her food!

Although Kibibi’s confidence has improved, she can still be incredibly skittish and will cower away from loud noises and sudden movements, that is why we believe that Kibibi will thrive in a calm,
quiet all-adult home. As she is so nervous, we believe she may also be okay to be rehomed as an indoor cat, given she has the space and indoor stimulation she needs.

Please note that Kibibi is currently on Gabapentin to help her feel calmer in the cattery, adopters will be supplied with a weaning dose and clear instructions from our veterinary team.

Before you go...

Once you’ve registered your interest in a pet, we’ll assess if you’re a match for them. While we would like to get in touch with everyone who applies, it’s not possible for us to reply to everyone. We would please ask you to be patient.

If you are a match, Bristol Animal Rescue Centre reserves the right to cancel the adoption at any point throughout the process. While we make every effort to find the perfect pairing for you, circumstances can sometimes change and therefore Bristol Animal Rescue Centre may, on rare occasions, need to cancel adoptions. We’ll always be in touch to discuss this with you and explain why.
