Story
Meet Gouda!Age: 6 yearsSex: Male (Neutered)Adoption Fee: $145Gouda came to us after his person moved away and left him in the care of a friend who, despite their best intentions, couldn’t give him the life he deserved. Now he’s ready for a fresh start with a family who will cherish him.Gouda is a gentle, friendly, slightly shy boy with a soft heart. Once he warms up, he can be quite chatty and playful, though he mostly enjoys peaceful roaming, cozy naps, and being lovingly pet. He’s the perfect match for someone who prefers a quieter, more cuddly companion rather than a high-energy cat.Gouda is sweet, calm, and affectionate, a bit shy at first, but warms up with patienceEnjoys small ball toys and fishing-line style toysLoves supervised outdoor walks in his harnessGouda has lived with another cat before and tolerated the company, but he would truly shine as the one and only. He may do well with older, respectful children who understand his gentle nature. He has not lived with dogs.Gouda`s diet consisted of a mix of Nuetro pâté wet food and Simply Nourish dry food and is fully litterbox trained.Gouda is a quiet, loving soul looking for a calm home where he can feel safe, adored, and unhurried. If you’re searching for a mellow companion who will reward your kindness with soft purrs and gentle affection, Gouda may be your perfect match.WARL`s walk-in adoption hours are Monday`s, Wednesday`s and Thursdays 12:00-4:00. Can`t make it then? Please complete and online adoption inquiry form and let us know what will work for you and we can try to make it happen.
