My story

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

DOB May 17, 2010.

Phoenix is a big kitty with a big purr-sonality! He is a very active cat who hunts and plays. Phoenix will chase and play with anything, but he especially likes to play "Tag, You're It" with his little brother Theo! The two boys will entertain themselves and you for hours. Both boys are also very much vertical thinkers and need things they can jump and climb, or they improvise.

Phoenix is not one to use his claws with humans. But if you happen to be knitting or you have a wand toy, he will use his claws to grab the wool or dangly toy.

Sweet Phoenix was seized by the courts from his previous home for abuse and neglect. He was very thin and both of his upper canines had to be removed because they were broken. He is no longer thin, but he still has a fear of not getting food so multiple smaller meals along with some kibble at night should be given. His ears are missing some bits but he hears very well, especially the movement of the treat bag!

Phoenix is bonded with Theo. Because of Phoenix's previous experience with humans, he is in need of an experienced adopter who will be patient while he learns to trust. Theo helps him with his anxiety and he is more curious when he sees his little brother getting attention.

Phoenix was a very shy and timid cat when he first arrived in my home. He will need to be given some time to trust his forever family. He is listed as being black but his fur is actually smoke. The roots are white and get progressively darker to the ends. His coat is one of the softest I've ever seen. He is a gentle giant and is very protective of his little brother Theo. I'm going to miss these love bugs!

Please give Phoenix and Theo their forever home... only the best families please apply!
