My story

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

Teddy / Cat
This is a courtesy listing, please contact anna.raby89@gmail.com

Teddy/Theodore is a social and loving cat that thrives on attention and affection. Originally from Japan, Teddy has huge green eyes and is very talkative -- he will let you know when he is hungry and/or needs attention!

Due to several recent moves Teddy has exhibited some stress in his new, smaller environment and would benefit from an experienced owner, a larger home and someone with more time to give him the love and attention he needs.

He has spent some time around other cats and will acclimatize well given some time and patience. He has grown up around dogs and is comfortable around them, although will be anxious initially when introduced to a new dog. It doesn't take him long to want to snuggle up next to them for a nap though.
