Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Attentive, Easy-going, Attached!
Don't be fooled by the name - Old Man Cactus is every bit a playful, snuggly kitten! This little charmer is the life of the party, winning hearts wherever he goes. The moment his foster parent walks through the door, his purr engine kicks into gear and doesn't stop. He's happiest curled up in someone's arms, quickly dozing off into a cozy nap.
Old Man Cactus shares his foster home with kittens, adult cats, big dogs, and even a parrot! He's great with other animals and especially enjoys when his feline friends give him a good grooming session.
Old Man Cactus is very attached to his BFF, Xcuse the Orange. Growing up together, they share food and always cuddle up at night to have sweet dreams. They would love to be adopted together! For information about Xcuse the Orange, see here. https://tinyurl.com/muxtxv2r
If you're looking for a cat who adores attention and fits right in with other animals, Old Man Cactus might just be your perfect match!
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.
For further information or to meet Old Man Cactus, please email adopt@austinpetsalive.org.
