My name is Parker!

Meet Parker- A cool cat with a big personality. Parker is a handsome black-and-white gentleman with a strong personality and a clear sense of what he wants out of life. Found behind local shops, Parker has adjusted to shelter life in his own laid-back, independent way. He enjoys attention—but on his terms. He’s food-motivated, loves lounging on cat trees, and can be quite social when he’s in the mood. That said, if you reach for him when he’s not feeling it, expect a swat to remind you of his boundaries. He gets along with other cats and has lived with them successfully, but he’s more dominant and may clash with other bold or in-your-face felines. He thrives best with calm, respectful cats who understand the art of personal space. Parker is not a fan of being picked up or held, and he needs an adult-only home. He’s not for first-time cat owners—but for someone who appreciates a cat with boundaries and big personality, Parker could be the perfect fit. Parker isn’t looking for a lap—he’s looking for respect, a sunny window, some good snacks, and a person who just gets him.
