My story

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

Pennington County Humane Society 



Meet Goober
Goober is a handsome 4‑year‑old Russian Blue mix with a royal blue coat and a heart full of personality. Originally adopted from Pennington County Humane Society, Goober has grown into a playful, affectionate companion who loves toys that make noise, chasing dangling rods, and proudly showing off his hunting skills.

Goober is especially sensitive to people's emotions—he knows when you're feeling down and will curl up close to offer comfort. He's a lap cat at heart, happiest snuggled against you on the couch or furniture, soaking up head scratches and brushing sessions.

After another pet (a snake) was introduced to the household, Goober began showing some behavioral challenges, including inconsistent litter box use and occasional scratching or growling. While these issues emerged in response to the new environment, Goober remains affectionate and loyal with the people he knows. He thrives with patience, understanding, and a calm home where he can feel secure.

Goober prefers a quieter environment without young children and would do best as an indoor-only cat. He also prefers to be the only animal in the household, where he can soak up all the love and attention. Goober is looking for a caring home that appreciates his unique personality, understands his quirks, and will give him the stability he deserves.

For more information or to meet Goober, please contact Pennington County Humane Society at 218‑681‑8045.
