My story

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

Sweet, Loving, Playful

Cat Flag is a little guy with a lot of love to give. When you make friends he's the perfect companion. He's not afraid to ask for pets and will even encourage humans to pet him by booping them with his bespeckled head.

Whenever he's not pleading for pets, Cat Flag will keep himself busy with toys. He enjoys hunting stuffed mice filled with catnip and chasing strings around the house. When he's tuckered out, Cat Flag is perfectly content sitting quietly.

Cat Flag and his brother, Bad Cat Brains, are bonded and must be adopted together. They spend most of their time together, whether it's running up and down the hallway chasing each other or curling up in a tiny box. But their favorite thing to do is wrestle together, all in good fun of course!

One funny thing these brothers do is take small items around the house (a kid toy, for example) and stash them away as their own. One time a missing shoe was found in the corner of their room!

When Cat Flag is by himself, he will mew for his brother and Bad Cat Brains will coming running to check on him. It's so sweet! They would be lost without each other, so they must be adopted into the same home. For more information on Bad Cat Brains, you can take a look at his profile: https://tinyurl.com/4wujajdr.

Recently a dog visited their foster home, and these two kitties went from just curious to following her around the house and laying beside her!

They would do well in a home with adults, kids, dogs, and each other! Contact us today to meet them - thank you for keeping them together!

Cat Flag has tested positive for Feline Leukemia. FeLV is not a type of cancer. It's a virus that causes a weaker immune system and often a shorter lifespan. For the most part, 'FeLVies' are just like any other cat. APA! waives the adoption fees of these cats, and provides FeLV-related treatment and support post-adoption. Cat Flag can only live with other FeLV+ cats, but dogs and other animals are just fine! Any questions? We'd love to talk with you about FeLV care.

All APA! cats are fully vetted, spayed, or neutered, and have updated vaccines and a microchip. Lifetime support is offered by our Cat Behavior Team.
