Meet Kirk, a handsome grey tabby from Salinas with a soft, silvery coat and an even softer personality, plus the most endearing little tongue-out moment that shows up right when you need it. Kirk was found and raised from birth by a caring foster parent, so he grew up surrounded by love, comfort, and all the gentle handling that helps a kitten become a truly sweet cat.

Since arriving in San Francisco, Kirk has been feeling a little shy while he settles in. He is the “let me observe the situation from a cozy spot first” type, and he appreciates a calm approach and a little patience. The fastest way to Kirk’s heart? Churu. Bring out a tube and suddenly you are watching a reserved, dignified gentleman transform into a wildly enthusiastic snack critic with very strong opinions.

And just to be clear: Kirk is not a paid spokesperson for Churu. He is simply an honest cat, committed to quality, and willing to do a full product demonstration in exchange for a few more licks.

If you have a gentle home and a treat drawer, Kirk is ready to warm up, lean in, and charm you with his sweet nature and perfectly timed bleps.
