Hello, I'm Dolorean, a distinguished black and white domestic long hair with a personality as unique as my looks. You see, I'm not your average cat. I've got these impressive jowls - a charming feature I developed after being neutered a bit later in life. At 5 years old, I'm what you might call a mature feline with a heart full of stories... and a heart murmur, just to keep things interesting.
Now, I won't lie to you; I take my sweet time warming up to new humans. But once I do, we're in for a lifetime of loyalty. My previous family had to let me go due to financial and housing woes, so I'm on the lookout for a new forever home. I'm a bit of a thinker and an observer, often found prowling the upper levels of my enclosure, contemplating the mysteries of the universe (or just where my next chicken treat will come from). My heart might race with nervous excitement when I meet new people, but give me a little time, and I'll be lounging on my crijo, dreaming of our future adventures together. I'll also snuggle under blankets with you! If you're patient and understanding, willing to give a slightly grumpy but utterly charming gentleman cat a chance, then I'm the one for you. Let's meet and write our next chapter together, shall we?
