My story

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

Are you looking for a Velcro Cat? Someone who won’t ever leave your side? The perfect companion? Then say hello to Starr! This young lad is about 3 years old and came into ACCT as a stray picked up by a Good Samaritan. Starr absolutely LOVES people. He is obsessed with lying in laps, being picked up, and carried around the house. In fact he will meow and request to be held. You can’t mistakes his happy purrs once he’s in your arms. Starr is energetic, playful, and curious. His foster would consider him a bit high energy. But once he gets his zoomies out he loves to snuggle in bed and take a nap. Starr loves to follow his foster parents around the house and explore everywhere- with confidence! Starr would do well in a variety of homes. His foster parents think he would do best with adults and older children. His foster parents presume he would do well with other cats, unsure about dogs.

This animal is currently in foster care and not located at the shelter. If you want to learn more about Starr please reach out to his foster mom Nicole (nrossi498@gmail.com) with any questions.
