My story

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

Francisco is a love bug looking for his forever home! This winter he is living outside in a shelter and needs an indoor, loving home. He has gained weight since he was rescued and is healthy. He wants nothing more than to be held or sit next to you, and to sleep right next to you at night.

He is an old boy who showed up on my doorstep starving. He's fattened up a bit, and the vet says his heart and teeth are in great shape for an older cat, possibly 10 years old.

He still needs some weight on his bones and someone who can give him lots of love and attention. The more he's fed the more love he gives back.

He is a little head shy but loves his chin rubbed, and has started to roll over on his back to have his belly rubbed, too. He will sleep right by your head, sometimes on your back. He will follow you around devotedly, or at least keep you in sight. He will sit by your leg on the couch. He does get along with other cats we have here, but he will probably do better on his own or with just one other cat. He squirms a bit when I clip his nails, but he will tolerate it (same with baths), and he loves the scratching post. He uses the litter box like a champ and eats almost anything. Salmon seems to be his favorite. He plays like a kitten: following a toy attached to a string and pouncing on random toys scattered around. I think he will become more confident in a forever home with more attention than I can give him here (many other cats) and will continue coming out of his shell.

Please email if you have any questions about Francisco! He is a truly wonderful animal.
