Achilles is a big, handsome looking for a quiet home where he can adjust at his own pace. As we`ve gotten to know Achilles, his `tough guy` act has been debunked somewhat. He likes to have his big handsome head scratched, but he is not always in the mood, and he`s not the type to initiate . . . yet. Achilles would be best matched with a `cat person` who can give Achilles the space he needs to do his own thing at his own pace. Achilles has been `cat selective` with other felines, so if you`re interested in Achilles and you have a cat at home, please feel free to talk to our staff about adding him to your family.
To set this special boy up for success, we are requiring two visits before an adoption is finalized. If you`d like to learn more about Achilles, come stop by Dedham.
Achilles is currently up to date on all vaccinations, has been spayed/neutered, microchipped and seen by our vet team.
For more information on Achilles or any other animal currently residing at the Animal Rescue League of Boston, please call us at 617-426-9170. We welcome adopters from NH, RI, CT, and NY. However, we will be unable to facilitate same day adoptions due to state regulated paperwork requirements.
