Yes you can call your pet a "he" or "she", because every animal has gender. And you should only use "it" for non-living or inanimate objects.
I hope it could help you in searching your best answer for your question. Thank you.

If you know the gender, he or she can be used. Typically if the gender is unknown, using "it" is okay.
You were also correct when using "cat's name" in your sentence.

The answer does not depend upon the name of your cat.
Use /it/ whenever the cat is absent or deeply sleeping;
otherwise use its full name and at the same time give it a
good pat on its back.
Keep these answers hidden from your cat.

Yes, you can use ‘he' or ‘she' to refer to a pet.
The sentence "My cat's name is Kifchelina" is correct.
