My story

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

Calm, Reserved, Gentle

Gashiki is a sweet, lanky old timer who loves attention, always greeting staff and visitors when they come through the door. He loves to lounge and hang out next to you. He's very quiet and you might not always notice when he's joined you! He is not a lapcat but he loves affection and might reward you with a snuggle and rumbling purr!

Gashiki does really well with kids and would be fine in a home with careful, gentle children who would respect the needs of an older kitty. He has experience with other cats and enjoys their company.

Gashiki is a healthy senior cat, but you may have noticed that his eyes make him look like he's squinting. They can be uncomfortable, so he takes a few inexpensive, readily-available medications to keep him feeling good. Even taking his meds, Gashiki is still such a loving, mild-mannered soul.

Gashiki doesn't jump up to high places and would benefit from stairs up to the couch. and a nice heating pad. Reach out if you're ready to get all cozy with this calm, sweet and easygoing kitty!

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.
