Meow, everyone! My name is Blitz, and I'm a sweet and affectionate torbie cat with a playful spirit and a love for sunny spots.
At 12 years young and weighing 8 pounds, I've had my fair share of adventures and now I'm ready to find my forever home where I can enjoy my golden years surrounded by love.
I may be a senior cat, but that doesn't slow me down one bit! I still love to play and explore, especially when the sun is shining. Basking in the warm sunlight is one of my favorite pastimes.
I get along well with other cats and even with children-I'm a gentle soul who enjoys companionship and affection from everyone.
I'm litterbox trained and always use it like a pro. You won't have to worry about any messes with me around!
Before we meet in person, the shelter kindly asks that you submit your adoption application online. This helps ensure that we're a purr-fect match and that my new home will be everything I've been dreaming of.
Remember, all animals from this shelter are spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and microchipped. I'm healthy and ready to become a cherished member of your family.
If you're looking for a sweet, playful, and loving companion to brighten your days, look no further-I'm here waiting to bring joy and warmth into your home. Let's make each other's lives brighter and happier!
Let's be BFFs! Filling out an application is super duper easy and it puts you at no obligation to adopt if we aren't the perfect match. You can use this quick and easy link to meet me soon: https://foothillshumanesociety.org/adopt/adoption-application/
