Mufasa arrived at ACC after his previous family faced an eviction and could no longer keep him. Despite all the changes, he has shown us what a warm, people-oriented sweetheart he truly is. He greets visitors with soft eyes, gentle cheek rubs, and a steady purr that starts the moment he gets attention. His easygoing nature makes him a joy to be around, and he's quickly become a staff favorite.
My Ideal Home
Mufasa would thrive in a calm, loving home that offers steady companionship and plenty of affection. He loves petting sessions and would happily share his purrs with anyone willing to slow down and enjoy his sweet nature. Because he can be slightly unsure when lifted, an adopter who goes slowly with pick-ups and builds trust at his pace will help him feel secure. He's an adaptable boy who should settle well with patient, attentive cat parents.
Good with Kids?
Mufasa's gentle personality may make him a good match for respectful, cat-savvy children. Slow introductions are recommended so he can warm up at his own pace.
Good with Other Pets?
He arrived with several other cats from his previous home and may coexist well with another easygoing feline after thoughtful, gradual introductions. His behavior with dogs is unknown.
Overall Health
Mufasa is healthy overall with a mild upper respiratory infection that is already being managed by our medical team. He eats well, enjoys attention, and continues to be monitored to ensure he's feeling his best.
Behavior Determination
Level 2 - Mufasa enjoys attention, loves being pet, and accepts handling well. He briefly tolerated being picked up but may prefer keeping all four paws on the ground. He's an affectionate, social cat suited for adopters with an average understanding of feline behavior.
Other Fun Facts
• His purr motor turns on instantly - a total lovebug!
• He greets staff with enthusiastic cheek rubs.
• He has a confident, gentle way of asking for more pets.
• He'll make someone an incredibly loyal and affectionate companion.
