About Me
PERSONALITY
My foster mom tells me I’m the sweetest boy she knows. She also frequently tells me I’m a very silly boy. I like to run around and pounce on things, but I’m not very graceful. I love boxes, tunnels, and anything else I can dive into. I don’t like other male cats, except my friend, Greybear. I like female cats, but sometimes play a bit rough with them. But I definitely want a cat friend to chase and wrestle with. I have LOTS of energy! I also talk when I’m nervous, so I may chirp and meow a lot when I first get to my new home. I like to be petted too. Cheek scratches are the best!
Hobbies: playing in boxes and tunnels, begging for cream cheese when I hear the refrigerator door open
Favorite Toy: all toys – especially string toys and cardboard boxes!
Favorite Napping Spot: on the window seat
HOW I CAME TO THE PGSPCA
I think I had a family once, but was living outside at an apartment complex when a TNR volunteer discovered how sweet and friendly I am. She took me home and discovered I have perfect indoor cat manners and love being pampered indoors.
DREAM FAMILY
Change is hard for me, so I need a family that is patient and will give me lots of time to adjust to a new home. My anxiety will get the better of me for a while and I’ll cry and meow a lot when I first get to my new home. But I’ll be so happy to have a forever home and get lots of attention and pets! I’d also love to go home with my buddy Greybear! He plays with me and isn’t bothered when I get too rough. It might help me feel less anxious to have my friend with me. Otherwise, I’d like a female cat friend to play chase with.
