My story

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

I am a talker.

I will greet you at the door and follow you around.

I want your attention.

I love head, chin, face, neck rubs and will head butts when I want.

I Love to go on buggy rides. I get to out in the buggy / stroller in the store and you may even see me greeting you and the other customers as you enter.

I am a cuddler, loving guy and have a best friend - Menaue - that I go with. We shared our Mum together... we mostly kept to ourselves, but we did associate with each other - especially in the cat tree. We respected each others space...so we do get along.

My story is different then Menaue's. It is June-July 2019. Menaue came from a shelter, I did have a home, but I kept leaving it and went over to my new Mums. She kept returning me... and I kept returning to my new Mum's home. After awhile, the Mums got together and approved that I could stay with my new Mum. By this time, Menaue was with my Mum.

After four years, my Mum had a change in her living arrangements and had to bring me in with Menaue. My Mum was moving in with her son and family members were allergic to cats. We were both very sad.

I did not like being away from my Mum. I hissed, spat, and hissed a lot when I arrived to the pet center. I was not happy for three days, I was so scared that I hid in my blanket and growled at everyone that passed by my cage.

Fast forward the three days and I am back to my loving, happy self.

P.S. I do not like VETS. I need to be medicated the night before and day of. I come with my meds, my food, my kennel, my two cat trees, my pillows, my blankets and yes, my stroller. I llove love love my buggy rides!

I do not LIKE any type of dogs, quiet kids only and the kids that will not chase me. I like cats after a long introduction time. Give me time to adjust as I am a senior guy looking for a home for my golden years.
