Howie is a 5 month old brown tabby. He is handsome and regal, and loves to find a perch where he can survey his kingdom and keep an eye on what is going on around him. Howie is a quiet, calm, reserved guy who likes to observe before he engages. He can certainly let loose and get playful- he cannot resist chasing after a tempting string or mouse toy. He will occasionally play chase with his sisters or wrestle and get rowdy.
Howie needs a bit of time to get to know his people before he warms up and greets them with a purr. He likes to be cuddled and held, but is often content to chill out in a cozy cat bed by himself. If things get too noisy or busy around him, he might need to find a calm, quiet place to take space until it calms down. While Howie has been fostered in a home with children, he would not be happy in a home with children who cannot read his body language or who wouldn’t respect his need for quiet, calm spaces. Howie would thrive in a quieter home where he could relax and unwind at his own pace. Once Howie knows that you’re a safe person, though, he has the deepest loud purr and will greet you for gentle headbutts and pets.
Howie has been fostered in homes with other adult cats, dogs of all sizes, and kids. He has not shown a lot of interest in the adult cats, but he knows how to read their boundaries when they do interact. Howie knows how to communicate his boundaries to curious or overly playful dogs.
Howie is bonded to his sister Sofia and they must be adopted together. These two love to wrestle and play with each other and have a sweet connection.
All of our cats come spayed or neutered, microchipped, and with their initial age-appropriate vaccinations. Kittens have an adoption fee of $200 each or $300 for a bonded pair. Kittens must be adopted in pairs unless there is another young, energetic cat in the home. If you would like to apply to be a forever home for this cat, please fill out a statement of interest at www.alternativehumanesociety.com. Unless otherwise indicated, all our cats and kittens are best suited for indoor-only life.
