My personality

My story

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

Meet our affectionate orange boy named Artemis, or Arty for short! Artemis is about 1.5 years old and he was surrendered to our shelter when his owners could no longer care for him. He is a friendly, young cat who just wants some attention and play time. He loves to bat around toys, play with cat wants, and roll around in cat nip. Artemis likes to be pet and will head bump your hand for more pet time. He is a nice cat who deserves to have a great family of his own! We don't know how Artemis is with other cats right now, but we think he may enjoy a cat buddy. He can go to a home with children 12 years old and older.
Artemis does need to be on a prescription dry food diet to prevent his body from forming urinary crystals. An all canned food diet would work for him as well. He really likes the prescription food he has been eating and he has not had any issues since starting the food.

If you are interested in adopting Artemis, Please Email us at Adopt@savingpawsct.org for an application! His adoption fee is $75.00.

All children in the home need to be declared and brought down to meet the animal.
