My story

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

Melvin is a charming black and white tuxedo boy with a distinctive broken white ring around his neck that gives him a dapper, almost formal look. This sweet guy is known as the resident baker because he kneads his bedding with great enthusiasm. Melvin enjoys affection, happily leans into brushing, and offers plenty of cuddles when approached. He is confident in new places, easy to handle, and walks right into the carrier without hesitation.

Melvin has an energetic, playful streak and loves toys of every kind, especially balls, springs, and wand toys. He enjoys climbing and interactive play, yet he is just as content to lounge and hang out near his people. His favorite places to sleep are the top of the cat tree or a cozy soft bed.

Although he is mostly quiet, Melvin purrs easily and loves being part of the household routine. He uses scratching pads appropriately, allows nail trims, and has great litter box manners. He is food motivated, enjoys wet food, and may try to sneak a taste of whatever his feline friends are eating.

Melvin does wonderfully with other cats and has been friendly with adults, children, and even strangers. He would be happiest in a home with another cat friend and a family who appreciates a confident, affectionate, and social companion. If you are looking for a loving tuxedo boy with a fun personality, Melvin is ready to bring joy to your home.
