My story

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

Meet Asher! His previous owners describe him as friendly, playful, and very affectionate. While Asher can be a little shy when meeting new people, he warms up quickly and soon shows his loving side—especially if head pets are involved! Once he’s comfortable, he absolutely loves being cuddled and soaking up attention from his people. Asher is a chatty companion who enjoys “talking back” when you speak to him, making him a fun and interactive friend. He also has a playful streak and enjoys batting around his toys, but he’s just as happy to spend most of his time snoozing nearby as the sleepy boy he is. He has not lived with other cats before, but he previously lived with a small dog and enjoyed playing together. Asher is also a big fan of treats, which is a great way to win his heart even faster. If you’re looking for a loving, cuddly, and conversational companion who will happily nap by your side, Asher may be the perfect match for you.
