My personality

Why I need a new home

Does not get along with other pet

My story

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

This is Stephen! He's around 7-8 yrs old. He's a big guy with a lot of love to give. He needs a bit of help with his weight loss journey. Even though he's a hefty boy (18 pounds at his last vet visit), he still loves to play - he just needs some extra motivation sometimes. He loves to lay with his person and has a pretty loud purr. Stephen gets along with most other cats, but since he has a dominant personality he does best with ones that will play with him, aren't too submissive, and aren't old/fragile. I have two other cats and he gets along with the younger one. However, he and my senior cat do not get along at all. My senior cat is 18 years old and I have come to the difficult decision to put his health and happiness first by rehoming Stephen. Stephen does have hyperesthesia, so his back and sides get super sensitive and he can be reactive due to that, so he will need to go to someone that respects his boundaries. He loves heavy head and neck pets/rubs though!
