My story

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

Goofy, Friendly, Unique

Meet Sasquatch!

Sasquatch is a charming and talkative orange tabby with a lot of personality packed into his three-legged body! Though he's a tripod kitty, don't let that fool you-Sasquatch gets bursts of energy and loves zooming around when the mood strikes. While he's calm most of the time, he's also playful and absolutely adores his automatic spinning toy and anything with springs.

Sasquatch is a little reserved at first, but once he warms up, he'll come out of his shell and be great company. He doesn't need to be glued to your side but enjoys having people around, especially for some chin and butt scratches. His vocal side shines when he wants food or attention-he's not shy about letting you know when he needs something!

Since his front leg was amputated in August 2024, Sasquatch requires some special care, like eating twice a day to stay lean and avoid arthritis. Though he doesn't jump, he loves to climb and would thrive in a home with space to run and explore. He needs a litter box with attractant to help with his potty habits, but once settled, he's a fun and lovable companion. His interactions with other cats, dogs, and kids are unknown, so a slow introduction would be best.

Sasquatch is looking for a home where he can have room to play and a person who will spend time with him during the day. If you're ready for a sweet, energetic, and talkative friend, Sasquatch is waiting for you!

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.
