My name is Mordecai the Gentle!

TL;DR:
5monthold male gray tabby with soulful eyes and an expert biscuitmaking habit. Sensitive and shy at first, but blossoms into a deeply affectionate companion once trust is earned — offering heartfelt kneading sessions, head bonks, and rumbling purrs. Needs a calm, patient home with at least one confident resident cat. Must go to experienced cat owners who are patient and willing to start out with handfeeding.

WAIT! Before you fall in love with Mordecai...because you WILL...
Please ask yourself these two deal-breaker questions:
1 Do you have a confident, cat-friendly cat already living in your home?
2 Do you have experience living with and caring for cats?

If the answer to both is yes, great — read on!
If the answer to either is no, we’re sorry, but Mordecai requires a confident feline role model and an experienced cat-savvy home.

Bonus: Mordecai will bond more quickly if you’re willing to hand-feed during the early days. It’s not required, but it really helps.

Background & Lore

Once a lone explorer on the streets, Mordecai now walks the winding road of rehabilitation. His journey has been neither quick nor easy — the fear remains, but it no longer defines him. He wants to connect. He tries so hard. And when he dares to trust, the reward is magnificent: biscuits so heartfelt they could mend broken souls, head bonks worthy of a seasoned cleric, and purrs that echo with gratitude.

He’s not just any companion. He’s looking for the perfect party to join — and to become their familiar. A lifelong bond awaits those patient enough to earn his trust.

Ideal Party

• Patient humans with soft voices and softer hearts.


• No young children, loud minotaurs, or unpredictable bards.


• A stable home with a predictable rhythm and a confident feline NPC for guidance and grounding.


• Must be willing to win affection the old-fashioned way: with time, treats, and tiny victories.

Mordecai’s Deal-Breakers

• Cannot be “won” in a day. This is a long-term quest with emotional side missions.


• Does not respond well to being scooped up like a loot drop.


• Needs a calm environment — loud households will cause retreat to the Shadow Realm (under the dresser).

Adopt Mordecai
Don’t do it because he’s cute. (He is — wildly so.) Do it because you want to be chosen by a biscuit-mancer whose quiet courage and deep loyalty will change your heart forever.

If you’ve made it this far, thank you for reading about Mordecai! But please don’t forget the essentials:

• A confident resident cat is non-negotiable.


• Cat experience is a must.

These aren’t preferences — they are the key to Mordecai’s happiness and success. If that sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you!
