My story

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

*** To alleviate the need to bring an animal into the shelter environment, The Anti-Cruelty Society has the Home-to-Home Shelter Bypass service to help people find new accommodations for their pets privately. These animals are not located in any of the Society`s physical locations. If you are interested in adopting this animal, please do NOT click the Adopt Me button and instead reach out to the current owner directly via the email provided in the profile. As this is a Home-to-Home animal you are not required to fill out an Anti-Cruelty Society adoption application form. ***

Buzz has no past or existing health issues, medication, or
dietary restrictions. Although we’ve never tried it, we think
he’d likely benefit from some anxiety medication. He has no
issues using the litter box and loves using the litter robot,
although he does just fine with a top-entry or a normal litter
box. He does tend to “clean” the litter robot whenever it cycles,
trying to push the waste into the trash drawer – this can tend
to stall the cycle often, but Buzz has refused to believe that the
litter robot can do a better job than he can.
Since we do not have kids, we cannot say for certain how
exactly Buzz would behave in their presence. Buzz can be
extremely timid when it comes to loud/unfamiliar noises and
new people, but he warms up with consistent respect for his
space and loves to approach people on his own terms. He is
extremely docile and submissive, and “plays possum” by
staying very still whenever he’s forced to do something he
doesn’t want (usually getting his nails trimmed).
Buzz has done well warming up to other pets in the few times
where we have pet sat for friends’ cats. He takes several days
to warm up, and can be avoidant for the first few days,
particularly if the cat is higher energy/extremely friendly.
However, he’s never picked a fight with another cat, in line with
his usual behavior. Buzz is very bonded to Bart, and they often cuddle on the couch when they are home alone or at night.
They are undoubtedly a package deal.
Buzz enjoys human interaction on his own terms; he spends
most of the day sleeping and becomes much more social in the
evenings. He likes cuddling on the couch or jumping into bed
best, and also enjoys being petted (including on the tummy)
and getting brushed. He doesn’t love being picked up – but he
won’t fight it, either. Buzz is less food motivat
