My story

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

I’m in search of a roommate—but only experienced cat owners need to apply!

I have lots of healthy boundaries and I promise to respect yours if you respect mine. Sounds like a good deal, right? For instance, I may approach you for pets when I feel comfortable, but please don’t try to pick me up—it makes me feel very unsafe! I also don’t love being handled by veterinarians (who can blame me?) but I’m sure an experienced owner would be able to help me through it.

I’m always open to taking bribes in the form of Churu, my very favorite lickable treat. I don’t care what flavor it is as long as I’m able to gobble it all down!

I really love playing and have a lot of energy for it. I’ll even keep your house and yard free of mice if you’re in need of pest control! When I’m not playing with my toys, I like to kick back and relax. I’m an easygoing roommate once you get to know me.

My ideal home is one without younger children since they sometimes forget my boundaries, but I’m open to living with older children and even having an indoor/outdoor space to patrol.

If you think you’d be a good roommate for me, you can foster me for 14 days through our Foster First Program before deciding to adopt.
