Yes, that face is mine—and yes, it is ridiculously squeezable. I’m a big ol’ 4-year-old orange boy with a permanent “mildly concerned” expression that makes people think I’m feeling surly… but trust me, that’s just my face. Inside, I’m basically a marshmallow.
I was found hanging around a TNR colony, but it was immediately clear I had absolutely no business living the street life. I’m way too cuddly, way too sweet, and honestly far too into affection for all that. I can be a tiny bit shy at first, but give me a little time (and maybe tell me how handsome I am), and I warm up quickly into a super affectionate lovebug.
Once I’m comfortable, I’m all about the pets—especially ear scratches. Those are my weakness. I lean in, purr like a motor, and soak up every bit of attention you’re willing to give. I also seem to do just fine with other cats.
I should also mention that I’m FIV+, which really just means I’m extra special and need a loving indoor home where I can stay safe and healthy. With regular vet care and lots of love, I can live a long, happy life—just like any other kitty.
If you’re looking for a big orange sweetheart with a serious face, a soft heart, and an endless supply of cuddles, I might just be your guy.
Love,
Garth

AHSEM treats every adoption as "foster to adopt" This means that the first two weeks in which you have the cat is the "foster period." We do our best to ensure the right match for all involved and want to give the cat(s) time to decompress and adapt to their new environment. However, we realize sometimes things don't work out as expected. Therefore, during that two-week period, if something doesn’t work out you can bring the cat back. We will always take our cats back even after the "foster to adopt" period. We would hate to see them end up at a kill shelter, abandoned, or any other unsafe situation.
