Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Get ready to fall head over heels for Rattle, a wonderfully social and endlessly cheerful boy who has been dazzling his foster family with his sweet personality and non-stop commentary. This guy has opinions and he’s not afraid to share them — his signature quack-meow greeting is guaranteed to make you smile every single time you walk through the door. Rattle is that magical blend of playful, friendly, and unbothered by basically anything life throws at him. He sleeps as hard as he plays, purrs like a tiny motorboat the entire time he’s hanging out with you, and sports an adorable little head-tilt that only adds to his charm. His foster mom says she’s not sure there’s a person or animal he wouldn’t like — he’s just that easygoing. This energetic boy LOVES toys and is a champion at keeping himself busy. Soft toys? Yes please. Ball-in-track toys? Absolutely. Wand toys? His absolute passion! He’s happiest when someone is waving a wand toy for him, and he’ll chase and bounce with total enthusiasm. Even basic drinking straws are a thrill in his world. Since he occasionally plays with his claws out, wand toys are a perfect way to keep the fun safe and super engaging. While he’s not a big cuddler yet, he adores company and thrives when people are around. Rattle has handled everything in foster like a total champ: medical care, quarantine, room changes — nothing slows his good vibes. Even car rides are only mildly annoying to him, and once he’s out of the carrier he’s instantly ready to explore, chat, and make new friends. He hasn’t interacted directly with the other animals in the home, but he’s seen the resident cat through a glass door and reacted with curiosity and confidence. With his adaptable nature, Rattle seems like the kind of cat who can settle happily into all kinds of households. If you’re looking for a bright, talkative, toy-loving companion who’s ready to bring joy, entertainment, and constant purrs into your life, Rattle is your guy.
