My story

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

I go by the name Handsome Howie, and I'm in search of my forever family, but with specific requirements. I'm a 5-year-old long-haired feline currently on a diet, yearning for a special woman in my life. I'd prefer not to share her with other four-legged creatures, and I'm not particularly fond of male humans, though I might tolerate them if they respect my bond with the woman.

Weight loss is a must for me, as both my vet and foster insist it's essential. When I first arrived at the rescue, I weighed a hefty 27 pounds. Due to my size and long fur, there are occasions when I need a little help with grooming. I believe any woman who has potty trained a human child will understand this perfectly. As I've shed pounds, the need for assistance has decreased significantly. I'm fully committed to my weight loss journey, preferring the slow and steady approach.

It's important to note that I have a few quirks. I thrive on attention, love snuggling, and enjoy sleeping by your side. However, being a male cat, there may be moments when I feel overwhelmed and become a bit grumpy, occasionally exhibiting a higher percentage of undesirable behavior during the initial days in a new environment.

In essence, I'm 96% fabulous and 4% jackwad. If you're interested in welcoming me into your forever family, please visit richardsonsrescuerva.org and complete our straightforward online application.
