My story

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

🐈‍⬛ 🐾 This special, majestic boy is looking for his purr-fect home — could that be with you? 🐾 🐈‍⬛

Behold: Gideon. A 7-year-old FIV+ velvety cryptid, cloaked in mystery, fluff, and just enough mischief to keep life interesting. He appeared one day like a cursed artifact from a fantasy novel — matted, scarred, missing a few toes, one eye doing its own thing — and immediately decided your office chair was his rightful throne.

What makes Gideon special (besides literally everything)?
• He has some hind-end weakness, giving him a delightfully dramatic “haunted marionette” walk.
• His litter box habits are… selective. Predictable? No. Endearing? Also no. But we love him anyway.
• He’s FIV+, which mostly just means he’s got street cred and needs a loving indoor home.
• He is fluffy, fabulous, and silently judging you at all times.
• He makes biscuits like he’s working overtime in a ghost bakery.

Gideon isn’t your average cat — he’s a vibe. A dramatic little weirdo with a tragic backstory and a powerful need to nap on important paperwork. He’s not perfect… unless you’re into handsome, affectionate office goblins who yell for snacks and occasionally poop slightly off target.

And here’s the most important part: Gideon is full of love. He meows for attention, seeks out pets, leans into affection, and truly wants to be near his people. Despite his quirks and rough past, he has so much love to give and deserves the same safe, cozy, forever home as any other animal.

If you’re looking for a quiet, “normal” cat who fits neatly into a box on command… keep scrolling.

But if you’re ready for a lovable, adorable, cursed treasure with a heart of gold and the soul of a gremlin king —✨ Gideon awaits. ✨
