Meet Hoots, the most affectionate lap cat you'll ever find! This sweetheart doesn't need much time to settle in-he's got an amazing ability to make himself at home quickly. When I first brought him home, he took a quick look around, explored his new surroundings, and then turned right back to nuzzle me with his head, as if to say, "I'm home."
This gentle, people-loving adores being around his humans every moment he can. Every morning, he'll rub his head against you as his way of saying "good morning," and when you come home, he'll run to greet you like he's been counting the minutes. Whenever you sit down, and he'll be right there on your lap, soaking up every pet and touch with pure joy. If you're busy, he'll patiently wait nearby or settle in your usual spot, watching over you quietly.
Hoots learns fast, too-just show him the routine, and he's got it. For example, after a few gentle reminders, he quickly understood that certain places, like the kitchen stove, were off-limits.
Hoots is also wonderfully low-maintenance. He knows just how much to eat, isn't interested in human food, and sleeps peacefully through the night without noisy play sessions. He's a sweet soul with a playful side, especially when it comes to laser pointers and anything red!
Think of him as a little "dog" who doesn't need to be walked-like a loyal dog, he pays close attention to outdoor noises, staying alert as he watches over you and his home-he just needs a loving person or family who's home often to keep him company. If you're looking for an affectionate, easygoing, and attentive friend, Hoots is the one for you!

I would appreciate slow introductions to new people and places to help me feel safe.
I'll need daily interaction with you as I get used to my new life.

Hello! I have ringworm, a treatable fungal infection of the skin that can be itchy but otherwise harmless in minor cases like mine. I require a course of Itraconazole, an antifungal medication that is taken by mouth every day for a few weeks. Ringworm can be transmissible to humans and other animals, so it's important to keep me separate from other pets in the home, wash hands after playing with me, and perhaps have a specific set of clothes to wear when interacting with me. Giving me lyme sulfur dip baths a couple of times per week can also help to minimize risk of spreading. It's also a good idea to make sure fabrics in the room I'm housed in are washed frequently - who knew adopting a kitty with ringworm would be a great way to help you stay on top of your household cleaning too?
