My story

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

Hello, I’m Ichabod—a rather distinguished gentleman with excellent manners and a deep appreciation for life’s simple comforts. My ideal day includes a cozy blanket or welcoming lap, plenty of head rubs and chin scritches, and timely access to treats (I do know exactly where the magic treat closet is).

I’m very people-oriented and enjoy being near my humans. I’ll gently wind around your legs, bump your hand to request pats, and curl up beside you for a nap. I have a very quiet little meow—more of a polite peep, really—and a soft, steady purr that lets you know I’m content. I’m also an expert biscuit maker, using just the right amount of pressure so nothing ever gets snagged.

When playtime strikes, I adore my crinkly fish toy. I bunny-kick it, fling it around, and often follow that up with a round of zoomies down the hallway. I also enjoy watching the world go by from a window or door when I’m not hard at work warming a lap or napping from a higher vantage point.

I get along well with other cats and am curious but respectful of their boundaries. I am wary of dogs, especially larger ones, but I can peacefully coexist with calm, respectful canine housemates who give me space. I’m gentle, patient, and sweet, and I’m told I make friends quite easily.

Right now, I do need antibiotic eye ointment a few times a day, but I’m very relaxed about it and don’t fuss at all. I’m fully litter box trained, have no behavior issues, and don’t struggle with being alone.

If you’re looking for a mellow, affectionate companion with a quiet voice, a soft purr, and a truly gentle soul, I would be honored to meet you.

My adoption fee includes up-to-date vaccinations, dewormer, and heartworm/flea prevention. Plus, a microchip that is already registered to you! What more could you ask for?
