Kye

My story

Kye is a super-affectionate, good-natured sweetheart who is all about the snuggles! While his favorite thing to do is cuddle up against your side or on your chest, Kye also enjoys chasing wand toys, romping around the foster room with his buddy, Noodle, and sunning himself in the window. When he first came to us several months ago, Kye was struggling with a respiratory infection that had caused his third eyelid to protrude and partially cover his eye. After treatment and under the supervision of our vet, Kye’s eyelid has almost completely receded, and it was determined that this was likely caused by the feline herpes virus although that has not been officially confirmed. With proper management and routine vet care, Kye is all set to enjoy a happy, healthy life!  We had a cat with feline herpes virus; she lived to 16 with one or two flare-ups per year that we’d knock down fairly quickly.  It’s honestly not that big of a deal as long as you have a good vet and are prepated to work to boost his immune system!  He responded well to a course of Famciclovir viral medication during his most recent flare up.    He got along very well with dogs in his first adoptive home.  His original owner is now travelling a lot for work so he has found his way back to us to find his true forever home. His favorite things to do include laying on your neck and trying to trip you when you walk just so you’ll pet him. He is not shy when it comes to telling you he is hungry and will meow somberly at you until you fill his bowl. At night he will sleep curled in a ball next to you or under your covers. He loves to lay in front of the window and soak in the sun, and if you have a dog bed….he would prefer to make it his. While he is playful, he doesn’t have any scratching or biting problems, in fact he’s more of a trickster when it comes to playing. He does love toys; his most beloved toy is not a cat toy though… it is any string that happens to be around.  Meet Kye and his good friend, Noodle, at PetSmart, Bleachery Blvd, from 12-4pm on Saturday during our weekly adoption event.  All cats are spayed/neutered, up to date on age appropriate vaccines, microchipped, FELV/FIV tested, dewormed and started on monthly flea preventative.  Apply to adopt to be the first to schedule a meet and greet. All Mountain Pet Rescue (Asheville) animals are up-to-date on vaccinations, spayed/neutered and micro-chipped before adoption. Contact the foster parent or Mountain Pet Rescue at pets@mpravl.org for more information. Please note that visual breed identification of companion animals has been proven to be unreliable, so for most of our animals we provide a best guess at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each of our animals as an individual and do our best to describe and place pets based on personality not breed label.
