My story

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

Sweet & Silly, Friendly, Invites you to play!

Goatee Pizza is an outgoing guy who wants to be friends with you as soon as he meets you! He’s very friendly and confident, so he’s rarely nervous around new people. The first day he came to foster, he wasted no time exploring every inch of his new domain!

He is super chill and is usually off somewhere napping, but he does get the occasional zoomies. And if every so often Goatee Pizza gets into mischief, that is his way of inviting you to play with him - just pull out the wand toy! He also likes toys he can bat around and sometimes will settle down for a good chew on a toy. He also hilariously enjoys being chased, and he might not be able to resist playfully attacking your feet under the blanket!

Goatee Pizza isn’t overly cuddly, but he likes you to scratch his head and chin and to brush his plush coat! He almost always prefers to be in the same room with you, and will often sleep in the bed with you. Sometimes he’s even up for being picked up and carried around! Goatee is such a sweetheart who doesn’t mind hanging out on his own while his people are at work, and he’s ready to live a life of kitty luxury and relaxation with you!

Since he’s so friendly, it’s probably no surprise that Goatee Pizza is a chatty guy. He loves getting into conversations with his people and making little chirping noises when you walk by or when he just wants to say hello. He will also remind you when it’s meal time, in case you forget, and will meow a bit after eating to let you know he has finished, and to say, “Thank you!”

He doesn’t have any pizza, though, but he definitely has a goatee! Which is super cute with his black and white tuxedo. He is a charming and handsome guy, and might introduce himself as “Pizza. Goatee Pizza.”

Goatee Pizza has tested positive for Feline Leukemia. FeLV is not a type of cancer. It's a virus that causes a weaker immune system and often a shorter life-span. For the most part, 'FeLVies' are just like any other cat. APA! provides FeLV-related treatment and support post-adoption. He can only live with other FeLV+ cats, but dogs and other animals are just fine! Any questions? We'd love to talk with you about FeLV care.

All APA! cats are fully vetted, spayed or neutered, and have updated vaccines and a microchip. Lifetime support is offered by our Cat Behavior Team.

For further information or to meet Goatee Pizza, please email adopt@austinpetsalive.org.
