My name is Daddy-O!

Daddy-O is an absolutely GORGEOUS orange and white "swirl tabby"!
While shy at first and recently re-socialized from a neighborhood, he absolutely ADORES petting once acquainted - head, temples, cheeks, under the chin especially and long strokes along his body. He will then quietly start to purr. He loves being talked to. He is almost a "medium-haired cat" with his thick, silky coat.

He loves window sills and cat trees, especially at night. He enjoys good kibble more than wet food, but eats both. Though he has tested as FIV-positive, he is very healthy, so an indoor environment is recommended. He has been fully vaccinated.

He will hide at first, and may first greet a stranger with a soft hiss to announce his presence, but we reach out to him with outstretched fingertips, then start soft petting on the head, and the happy head and chin scratching can begin! He is not yet able to be picked up, but does roll over on his side

Daddy-O would be happiest in a small, quiet, indoor environment either as a single pet or as a "working cat" with his own cubbyhole, cat tree, windowsill and safe space. We suggest keeping him socialized with calm adult(s) around him. We believe he fathered 3 gorgeous healthy swirl tabby kittens, since adopted, and hence his name.
