My story

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

Meet Blackbeard! This handsome, FIV-positive guy came to HART from our rescue partners in Pennsylvania. At just over 8 years old, Blackbeard sports the big, puffy cheeks of a once-intact male, has impressively long whiskers, and a confident demeanor and cool, calm attitude. Blackbeard doesn’t mind sharing his space with other easygoing cats, though he’s sure to remind them who’s in charge.

When it comes to human friends, Blackbeard has a special fondness—for their shoes! He loves to rub his head against the tops of sneakers and can often be found right at your feet, looking for attention. Blackbeard also has a playful side, especially when it comes to his little green spiky toys. He’ll entertain himself for hours and, if he’s not ready for you to leave, might give you a gentle swipe to convince you to stay a bit longer. He’s independent and has a wonderfully easygoing personality, making him a great companion for someone seeking a laid-back feline friend.

Blackbeard does have some pre-existing health needs, including skin allergies and eye entropion. He’s currently on a couple of medications and follows a special diet. Due to these medical needs, his adopter should have a good relationship with a trusted vet, and a consultation with our Medical Manager will be part of his adoption process.

A favorite here at HART, Blackbeard is ready to make some lucky human very happy with his affectionate nature and cuddly presence. Whether it’s curling up on your lap or lounging next to you on the couch, he’s sure to bring warmth to his forever home. We can’t wait to see him find his special person!
