My story

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

Echo is a sweet, curious, playful boy who is bonded with his sister, Oriole.

Echo will bring lots of affection into your home: he loves cuddles and being cradled. He adores his sister, and enjoys lots of naps throughout the day. He's also a big fan of the bathroom sink (either sleeping in it or sipping cold, fresh water from the faucet). When his human gets up in the morning or returns from work, he loves following them around and showing lots of love.

Echo tends to be high energy in the morning and just before bed. But throughout the day he mellows out and enjoys napping and watching for birds outside the window. He loves to get cozy on the couch or bed for his naps.

Echo is nailing litter box training, and would love a home with windows to look out from and a human to cuddle with who will laugh at his curiosity. He has been exposed to dogs and kids and loves them both!

He has a sweet, gentle soul. He loves to be loved first thing in the morning and when his pawrent returns from work. He's a good brother to his sister and is a very welcoming member of the household.

One other fun little trait? When it's playtime and him and his sister run throughout the house, he tends to pant when catching his breath. This cutie can't wait for you to join in on their fun! Apply to adopt Echo and Oriole today.
