Mikko is a gentle, low-energy girl who thrives in a low-traffic home. She would do best in a calm environment with an experienced cat owner who is home most of the day and can give her the steady routine and attention she loves.
Mikko has grown up around calm dogs-both small and large-and does well with them as long as they respect her space. However, she has had mixed experiences with other cats and has not been around children, so she would do best as the only cat in a home without energetic kiddos.
She has made great progress with greeting visitors through positive reinforcement and will now happily say hello-especially if there's a treat involved! Like many cats, she may continue to improve with patience and consistency.
Mikko is an indoor-only cat but would absolutely enjoy a safe outdoor setup like a catio. Otherwise, she's perfectly content basking in sunny windows and relaxing nearby. While she enjoys the occasional wand toy or catnip session, she's truly happiest as a cozy cuddle buddy.
Mikko does have a chronic condition called Feline Idiopathic Cystitis (FIC), which can cause UTI-like symptoms during flare-ups without the presence of bacteria. She also experiences some stress and anxiety. Her condition is well-managed with simple daily medication and an as-needed anti-inflammatory during flare-ups-all easily handled at home without frequent vet visits. Potential adopters are encouraged to research FIC to fully understand her needs.
She may be shy at first and will need time, patience, and understanding to build trust-but once she bonds with you, Mikko is incredibly affectionate. She's a professional lap cat with big purrs, and loves to show her affection through head bumps and kisses. Chin and cheek scratches are her favorites, though she'll never turn down a good back pat.
At night, if invited, Mikko will happily curl up beside you. Just be warned-you might wake up to her lovingly grooming your hair in true cat fashion! Mikko live in Independence with her owner and her rehoming fee is $100. Mikko is indoor only.
