Here's what the humans have to say about me:
DOB: June 27th, 2021
Come say hello to me at Pet Valu Galleria!
Asiago is being fostered at one of Toronto Cat Rescue’s pet store partner locations. Please note that if you’re approved to adopt, you’ll need to pick them up from the store within 24 hours of being approved.
Though he is a little timid at first, Asiago loves humans and takes comfort in their presence. Provided with a calm introduction where he is able to make first contact, he warms up surprisingly quickly and cannot get enough attention. Though he doesn’t like being lifted up, he is easygoing when being petted and loves getting his belly rubbed. Unless he’s in a playful mood, he’ll never try to bite or scratch when being pet. If he ever does, it’s a gentle play bite and given a toy, he’ll focus on that while continuing cuddles. Usually he’ll start cleaning himself when being pet or brushed because he loves grooming together.
Since his temperament is timid and slightly anxious, Asiago would be best suited to a quiet household without children and dogs. If paired with a similarly natured cat, I think he could do very well as he loves playing and mental stimulation. When he gets into his playful mode, Asiago is adorable and he especially loves interactive games where he can be with his human. Feathers are his favourite and he’ll carry his favourite toy bird around when asking to play. Other favourites include laser pointers, wand toys, treats and catnip.
Like most cats, he can be a little stubborn and he may meow at you if he’s being ignored when he wants love but he soon learns when he won’t get attention. For example if you’re working. Generally he’s really quick to pick up routines and will adapt to suit you, knowing when his human is at their desk is the time he should nap alone. However, the perfect home would have plenty of time to play as he can get antsy when he doesn’t get enough exercise.
Asiago has a love for blankets that rivals none other, receiving the loving nickname of “blanket boy” from his foster. The ideal home would have plenty of cosey spots with light blankets for him to curl up under. If left alone or his human is busy, you’ll usually find him by spotting a little lump but he might also burrow so deeply you might miss him, so be careful sitting down. Don’t worry if you can’t find him. Asiago never stays away too long and he is incredibly smart, responding to his name if called out a few times.
Every few hours, he’ll check in for cuddles and request your company while he eats. What he’s asking for are pets as he eats because the answer is always pets. As an intelligent boy, he is vocal in a very communicative way. When he wants attention or cuddles, he makes the cutest loud purr. When he wants to play, he starts with chirping and meows a few times if ignored. If he’s hungry and his bowl is empty, it tends to be a much clearer instructional meow and he happily leads you to whichever solution he wants. The ideal home for Asiago would have at least one person home often because he loves people so much.
Asiago is a bundle of love wrapped in a shy package and you’ll be amazed to see how his personality shines as you gain his trust. The person who adopts him will have their patience rewarded by an endless supply of love from one of the most affectionate cats ever.
