- A fun, laid-back cat who loves attention

- An affectionate guy - he likes to lay beside you or on your lap with constant purring - he is a cuddle bug and is almost a Velcro cat; he will always be in the room with you if not on top of you

- Has lived with other cats, but will need a very slow introduction to any cat in his new home, as he wants to be the boss cat in his home; he may also be happiest as your one and only cat

- Needs a home WITHOUT dogs

- Loves to rub against people's legs, and he loves to nudge you with his nose to say that he wants attention

- Will have cute zoomies in the morning and night

- Loves his wand toys and catnip as well as kicker toys

- He has a big personality and cannot wait to be the center of attention in the right home

- Young children are not a good fit for him, so he is looking for a more mature home

This cat has shown signs of overstimulation while in the shelter. Lots of handling, playing with hands, and excessive petting can cause them to overstimulate, which can result in scratching and/or biting. This cat is looking for experienced cat owners who will watch this cat's body language while interacting to note signs of overstimulation (tail waving, fur rippling, dilated pupils, ears turned back and quick body movements) and be willing to respect their boundaries. This cat will also benefit from interactive toys such as wands and ball spinners while playing. We are happy to speak with you more when you visit and can provide post-adoption resources. If you can give this cat mental stimulation, patience and space when they need it, please consider adopting! They would love to be your sidekick and buddy for life!

All adoptable cats and kittens are spayed/neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccinations (rabies and FVRCP as appropriate for their age)
