My story

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

Hi, my name is Dunkan! I’m a big, gorgeous 2 year old tabico boy, who was rescued from the streets in August by a nice lady whose yard I showed up in. Originally I came in for TNR (Trap Neuter Release), but after a few days of hissiness, I realized I was safe, and I warmed up VERY quickly to my human helpers! I may have been a lost pet, but no one claimed me during my stray hold, so I am on the search for my forever folks.

I am a velcro kitty who wants to be petted all the time. If you’re nearby and not petting me yet, I’ll give you the most soulful gaze, and a soft meow, to remind you I’m right here, waiting to give you some loves! I am a cuddler! I like being picked up, and even enjoy being rocked like a baby (but I’ll gently let you know when I’m ready for down, please!)

I had an ear infection when I came to the rescue, and I was so sweet and patient with my treatment. I’m even a good boy at the vet; I made little biscuits while they were drawing blood (like seriously who does that? Can you even believe what a sweetheart I am?) I’m a very good patient!

Speaking of food, I LOVE it and I will go to great lengths to obtain it. (Guard your plates!) I prefer wet food to dry food. I think I was starving outdoors, because when I first came inside I was very anxious and frantic about food, but now I’m learning that there’s always enough. I’m still kind of figuring out toys, but so far what interests me most is spending time with people, getting scritches and snuggles, and just staring up into their eyes. I have SO much love to give!

I like sitting on high up places, so I think I’d enjoy a cat tree where I can watch all the family activity. But keep an eye on me, because when I’m trying to catch your eyes for pets, I get very roly-poly, and I’ve been known to roll right off things (darn gravity!) I can be a little clumsy sometimes, but my helpers say it’s part of my charm.

I’m not sure if I’ve ever been around dogs, but I suspect I’d be okay with a gentle dog, with proper introductions of course. So far I get along well with other cats, except I can sometimes barge in on their food bowls, which for some reason isn’t always appreciated. What ever happened to family style dining??? While I don’t have any issues with other kitties, I also don’t seem too interested in them, so I think I’d be okay in a home with or without other kitties.

I’m not sure if I’ve been around kids, but I think I will be fine around very calm older kids who respect my boundaries. I definitely need a home where my people aren’t gone for long periods of time, because I’m a real people cat, and I flourish with a lot of human contact!
