My story

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

Best Match:

  •   Seeking an adopter with some experience
  •   Could join a quiet home with older kids
  •   May prefer a home with other cats
  •   Needs to be indoor only
  •   Needs daily medication for arthritis and on a wet food only diet

Meet adorable senior Bamboo! Bamboo is a big love bug and is very generous with his affection. He's ready for a calm, loving home where he can spend his time napping in sunbeams and getting plenty of attention.

Bamboo’s size may be the first thing you notice, but it’s also just how big his soft, cuddly center is. He loves people and wants to be wherever you are. He’ll take almost any opportunity to cuddle up next to you, and jumps into bed with you every evening with an eager affection and tucks right in. He often climbs on your chest with his paws on your lower neck or will sit near you with a paw on one of your legs.

Like many senior pets, Bamboo has a few known medical needs. He has arthritis and kidney disease, eats a wet-food only diet, and takes his medications easily when mixed with food or Churu. 

 And don’t let his age fool you! Bamboo still loves to play, for about 5-10 minutes at a time. He loves ribbon wands, cat dancers, and catnip bananas. Watching Bamboo “vibe out” with a catnip banana is adorable, as he rubs his head all over it and tries to draw it as close to him as possible. With Bamboo, you need to be the one to initiate a play session, but when you do, he rises to the occasion. He often prefers to play from one spot rather than running around after the toys. Work smart, not hard!

Bamboo is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and tested negative for FeLV and FIV. If you are interested in setting up a meeting or have more questions, please complete our Adoption Inquiry form:   form.jotform.com/cattownoak/adoption-inquiries
