Why I need a new home

Does not get along with other pet

My story

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


Donnie (short for Donnie Darko because of his endearingly creepy stare) is just looking for someone to return some of the enormous amount of love he has to give. He's been living rough for at least the past year, so he takes a bit of time to warm up — but once he trusts you, he is INCREDIBLY affectionate. Stand near him and he will nudge your legs until you pet him, and then he just NEVER gets tired of pets — ear scritches, belly rubs, you name it, he's into it.

Donnie has been very tenacious in trying to adopt us — the only problem is that he doesn't get along so well with the two kitties who beat him to it. He's probably best as an only cat; he will keep your house/yard/apartment very safe from intruders and absolutely shower you with affection.

Because he wandered into our yard a year ago and just won't leave, we don't know much about his story. What we DO know is that he's an adult, neutered, and DESPERATE for affection.
