My story

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

Calm, Shy, Curious

Durango likes to sit with you on the couch or next to you in bed - he appreciates human companionship, but doesn't need to snuggle all over you. He is perfect for someone who wants a feline buddy when watching TV! And when Durango wants some affection, he will specifically meow to ask you for it.

Durango isn't one for much playing, but he definitely enjoys that mouse-on-a-string toy! Otherwise, he's simply chilling out, sometimes by himself.

Durango and his brother, Quince (31393), were adopted together as kittens and have lived together for 10 years. Their previous owner made the heartbreaking decision to surrender them when their family life took a busy turn, complete with toddlers! This caused too much anxiety for these boys, and they didn't get the quiet attention they crave. Durango and Quince are bonded, meaning their health and well-being depends on them remaining together, so they must be adopted together. They are a sweet pair, and APA! (as well as their previous owners) thanks you for keeping them together! Learn about Quince here - https://tinyurl.com/2tbnw3p9

Both boys are on a urinary support diet.

Durango bonds with his own humans, and will take his time when meeting someone new. You'll know when he warms up to you, because he will show what a total sweetheart he is, and will want to hang out with you! With his reserved personality, he just needs some time, kindness, and patience.

The ideal home for Durango and Quince is quiet and low-traffic with people who will be gentle and patient with them. While they appreciate attention from their beloved humans, they are independent and good on their own together, too.

Durango and Quince are ready to find their new home and new people to bond with! Contact us today to arrange a meet & greet!

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.
