My story

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

Hello, wonderful humans! My name is Plato, and despite what my name suggests, I’m less of a philosopher and more of a professional snuggler. I’m an adult gentleman with perfect manners, a soft coat that loves brushing, and a heart that’s happiest when I’m by your side.

I’m a very friendly guy, and I greet visitors like they’re longtime friends. I love laps, being picked up, pets, and even tummy rubs—yes, really! My foster says I’m one of those rare cats who asks for a belly pet and means it. I also enjoy brushing sessions, quiet time near my humans, and pretty much any opportunity to be close.

I’m playful too—play mice, balls, and feather wands keep me entertained. I’m great with other cats, and due to my gentle nature would probably like kids although I haven’t spent any time with kids yet. I use my litterbox perfectly and am very tidy about it. For scratching, I prefer vertical sisal posts, and I hope my new home has one waiting for me.

One thing you should know about me: I’m on a special urinary diet because I had crystals in my bladder. It keeps me healthy, and I’ll need to stay on it long-term. I’m very good about eating what I’m supposed to—as long as you don’t expect me to enjoy bad-tasting medicine. I think that’s fair.

What I love most in the world? Being with my people. If you sit down, I’ll be right there next to you, purring, relaxing, or gently nudging your hand for more pets. I don’t need much—just a soft spot, a loving human, and someone who appreciates a loyal, affectionate companion.

If you’re looking for a friendly, loving cat who makes every day cozier, I’d love to meet you. Invite me for a meet-and-greet, and I’ll bring all my charm—and maybe even roll over for a belly rub.

Additional adoption info

See our process and policies on our website.
https://carenorthshore.org/adoption-information/

Our fees include a full medical exam by a veterinarian. This includes a Feline Leukemia and FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus) test for cats, Rabies and Distemper Vaccines, deworming and Spay/Neuter. Dogs receive a Heartworm Check, Spay/Neuter, Rabies and Distemper Vaccines, Canine Flu Vaccine, deworming, and Kennel Cough preventative. Our modest adoption fees do not cover the procedures and vet work that we provide the animals. We fundraise to make up the difference. Any ongoing medical needs that C.A.R.E. is aware of are explained fully, (including daily medicine costs), to the potential adopter, and become the responsibility of the adopter.
