My story

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

Offspring of Tiana, sibling of Fergie, Felix, Figaro, Faolan, and Fwancis

Meet Ferdinand, sweet feline adventurer with a heart full of love!  Born in March 2023, Ferdinand is the perfect age for adoption - past the crazy kitten stage but offering many years ahead for making memories with his forever family.  Just like the legendary bull from the children’s story this boy is truly all about stopping to smell the roses.   

While almost full grown physically, Ferdinand is still energetic and curious.  This charming kitty likes to keep tabs on the family, making his rounds to check in on everyone.  He will greet you with a soft chirpy meow, followed by some excited bobbing and weaving around your legs begging for head scritches.  That light exchange of touch is Ferdinand’s true love language.    

Purry, affectionate, and laid-back, Ferdinand is a great fit for most any household.   He is a total people pleaser and gets along great with dogs.  A bit of a chow hound himself, Ferdinand has a particular fondness for Churus – not just for the tasty treat itself but as a fun ritual to share with his favorite people.

While not technically a "bonded pair," Ferdinand harbors a special bond with his brother Faolan who is also available for adoption.  They've never been apart in their young lives, and Ferdinand would love nothing more than to continue their journey together in a loving home.  However, this is not a hard requirement as long as Ferdinand’s new family has lots of attention and time to help fill that void.

Ferdinand is litterbox trained, microchipped, neutered, combo tested (negative for FIV and feline leukemia) and up to date on vaccinations.   If you are feeling “bullish” on sweet Ferdinand then why wait – please inquire or submit an adoption application today!
