My story

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

🍕 Meet Pizza Cat 🍕

Yes… his name really is Pizza Cat — and yes, his origin story is just as iconic as it sounds.

Pizza Cat was found hanging around a feral cat colony, happily helping himself to leftover pizza from a box. While the other cats kept their distance, this big tabby did the opposite — he walked right up looking for love, not just leftovers. It quickly became clear that he didn’t belong on the streets.

Pizza Cat is a large, handsome tabby with an even bigger heart. He’s incredibly sweet, friendly, and affectionate, and he absolutely loves human attention. Despite his rough start, he has wonderful manners and an easygoing personality that makes him a joy to be around.

We estimate Pizza Cat is an adult, likely around 2–4 years old. He’s past the kitten chaos stage and firmly in the “chill companion” phase of life — the kind of cat who’s happy to lounge near you, soak up pets, and keep you company.

Pizza Cat’s highlights:
• Super friendly and social
• Loves people
• Easygoing, laid-back personality
• Big, handsome tabby boy
• Clearly someone’s pet at heart

Pizza Cat is now fully vetted and ready for adoption, and he’s hoping his next meal comes in a bowl — in a forever home.

If you’re looking for a loving, low-drama companion with a great backstory and an even better personality, Pizza Cat might be your perfect match. 🍕
