Rosa is simply the best! She is a lap sitter, couch lover, head butt giver and just all around amazing cat. You should see her play and jump as high as the sky for her toys. If you meet her, you will love her. Her coat is silky smooth and therapy to touch. She likes other cats and her sister Harriett if you are looking for a pair. If not, she will do well in a family that has lots of time and love to give her.https://youtube.com/shorts/OTZ1GytyMow?feature=sharedShe is available to meet at Cat Tales Cat Cafe!

Story
P. Sherman is a 2-3 year old big male orange tabby with handsome looks. He is very socialand loves rubbing up against people. He especially loves chin and cheek rubs, headscratches, and being stroked along his back.He likes to hang out with his person and benear them at all times. At night he likes lying in bed with his person to be petted. In thedaytime, he enjoys relaxing on his persons lap while purring and soliciting affection, orhanging out next to them on his kitty scratch lounger. P. Sherman is also a very energetic,curious, and confident kitty who can be very entertaining. He is intrigued by the bathroomrunning faucet, testing the water with his paws, and looking at himself in the mirror. In theevenings he often gets the zoomies and tears around the house batting his aluminumcrinkle ball all over the floor like a skillful soccer player, or stalking, pouncing, and killinghis toy mouse which he then bunny-kicks and tosses in the air. Interactive play-time is agreat way for Sherman to bond with his person! He is also learning the pleasures of beingbrushed and rolling in catnip.As P. Shermans confidence continues to grow, thisaffectionate, sociable, and playful kitty will make someone a loving companion! He needs tobe the only cat in his home, as he is FeLV+.
