My personality

My story

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

Watson is a strikingly handsome tuxedo shorthair, just about a year old, with a story that begins on the cold days before Thanksgiving. Left to battle the chill and an empty belly, he did his best to survive until a kind soul opened their heart and their home to him. They searched and hoped someone might be missing him—but no one ever came. Now, Watson is ready for a new chapter, one where he’s cherished forever.

Youthful and full of spark, Watson lives for playtime. Laser pointers send him into joyful pursuit, and teaser wands bring out his athletic flair. He’s still young and sometimes gets a little carried away—his enthusiasm is as big as his personality. When the energy fades, though, Watson transforms into a devoted cuddle companion. Sit down near him, and he’ll be there in an instant, asking for pets and often curling up right in your lap, as if he’s always belonged there.

Quiet moments are just as important to him. Watson loves gazing out the window, carefully observing the world as it passes by, and he handles his litter box duties with impressive professionalism. While he has tried sharing space with other cats, Watson has made one thing clear: he wants to be your one and only. He’s looking for a home where he can soak up all the love, warmth, and attention he missed during those cold early days.

Watson has survived the chill—now he’s ready to thrive in a home of his own.
