My story

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


Meet Almaden

Fluffy. Thoughtful. Secretly hilarious.


Quick Look

Name: Almaden
Age: Teenager
Size: Large!
Special Traits: Extra floof, soulful eyes, and a purr that could power a small appliance
Best Friend: His little sister Hilly—cuddle buddy and playmate


About Almaden

Looking for a cat with main character energy and a heart of gold? Meet Almaden, a giant fluffy tabby boy with gentle charm, goofy antics, and a thoughtful nature.

Almaden is the kind of cat who hangs back to assess the scene before jumping in. He may not be the first to explore a new space or chase the latest toy, but once he knows it’s safe, his playful, bouncy side shines. He’s the bouncy, excited presence to his sister Hilly's quiet sweetness, and together they make the perfect team if you're interested in two cats and looking for fun, beauty, and belly flops.


Personality Highlights

Gentle Explorer: New things are approached with caution—but once he’s comfortable, he’s all in.
Goofball at Heart: Loves a good romp, a silly chase, and a plush toy he can pretend to stalk.
Fluff-Fueled Purr Machine: Will reward gentle pets with deep purrs and soft snuggles.
Chill Companion: Easygoing and balanced—he brings calm wherever he goes.


 Loves

  • Playtime, once he’s warmed up

  • Soft voices, patient people, and cozy corners

  • His sister Hilly, even when she steals his toys

  • A peaceful home that lets him bloom at his own pace


Not a Fan Of

  • Loud chaos or being rushed

  • Startling movements

  • Being without a feline buddy—he really needs a friend


Ideal Home

Almaden would thrive in:

  • A calm home with another playful cat

  • Even better—a forever home with his sister Hilly, his partner in play and naptime

  • A person or family who’s patient, loving, and willing to let him unfold

  • A space where he can observe first, then dive in when ready


Interested?

Almaden is the whole package: sweet, silly, and secretly the funniest cat in the room. He’s looking for a forever home that gets his vibe—and ideally, one that comes with Hilly by his side.

Let’s schedule a meet-and-greet to see if this fluffball is the perfect fit for your heart and home.

Prior to adoption, all cats are spayed/neutered, tested for FIV/FELV, vaccinated and microchipped.

This cat is currently in a foster home. To meet him, please fill out an adoption application so that we'll have your contact information, and we'll get back to you as soon as possible. www.thedancingcat.org/adopt
