Ballad: The Calm and Affectionate Companion
Ballad is a charming and relaxed 7-month-old who’s as steady as his name suggests. This friendly boy, rescued with his siblings Elegy, Limerick, and Sonnette, has a naturally calm demeanor and doesn’t hide from people. Ballad loves playing with spring toys, balls, and wands, and his easy-going personality makes him great with both cats and dogs.
Unlike his siblings, Ballad doesn’t rush to his food bowl—he prefers a more laid-back approach to life. He enjoys being picked up and loves gentle pets, making him an ideal fit for a family looking for a mellow, affectionate companion. If you’re looking to adopt more than one cat, Ballad would love to bring a sibling along for the journey.
