My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

I’m a big, handsome almost 10-year-old cat with plenty of personality and just a dash of spice. My previous owner loved me a lot, but unfortunately, they developed cat allergies and couldn’t keep me anymore. So now, I’m on the hunt for my perfect forever home.

Let me be upfront—I’m a one-cat show. I’m FIV+, so I need to be your one and only feline, and honestly, I’m not a fan of other animals or small kids anyway. I thrive in a peaceful, quiet home where I can be the king of the castle. I’m looking for a cat-savvy human who knows how to respect my boundaries and appreciates a big personality like mine.

Health-wise, I have a special need: I’m on a prescription diet to keep urinary crystals away. It’s important for me to stick to this diet to stay healthy. But hey, lots of us have special dietary needs these days, right?

Personality-wise, I can be a little spicy. When I meet new people, I might hiss or growl to set some boundaries. But once I trust you, I’ll enjoy hanging out near you and even let you pet me—on my terms, of course! And here’s the best part: when I’m in a really good mood, I’ll even come close and snuggle with you. I may not be a lap cat, but I’ve got a soft side, and I’ll show it to the right person.

I also have a playful streak—I love catnip and string toys. They’re the way to my heart!

If you’re an experienced cat lover who is looking for a loyal, quirky companion, I could be your guy. Let’s meet—I promise, I’m worth the effort!

Pets are complex beings and prior to adoption, interested adopters will be counseled by a staff member to discuss the specific needs for each animal. This will include reviewing all known medical and behavior information. ** Please note that some animals will receive numerous inquiries, sometimes more than we can process. We appreciate your understanding and patience.
