The "Gentle Giant"
Meet Goliath: The 13lb Storyteller of Downtown San Jose
They say some of the best things in life are found in the most unexpected places. For Goliath, "unexpected" was a busy street in Downtown San Jose where he was found nursing a paw injury. But what started as a rescue mission turned into a revelation: this 13lb, extra-tall "House Panther" wasn’t just a survivor—he was a professional companion.
Goliath spent his recovery on mandatory bed rest, and he used that time to prove he is the ultimate "people cat." While he’s a large, impressive fellow, his heart is even bigger. Goliath is what we call a "vocalist." He doesn't just meow; he tells you about his day, narrating his adventures from the window to the food bowl and back again. If you’re looking for a cat who will actually listen to your stories (and provide his own commentary), Goliath is your man.
Personality & Perks:
The Look: Sleek, all-black coat with a few distinguished white hairs on his chest and a secret "swim trunk" patch.
The Vibe: Exceptionally gentle. Despite his size, he is a softie who lives for pets and chin scratches. Easy to pick up and hold as well.
Medical Status: Goliath is already neutered, FIV-negative , and fully up-to-date on all his shots .
The Motivation: Two words—Churu treats. He will be your best friend for life for a squeeze-up treat.
Social Life: While he is perfectly polite with other cats, he is a "human first" kind of guy. He wants to be where the people are.
Goliath’s paw is fully healed, and his handsome black fur is growing back nicely. He is ready to trade in his "medical leave" for a permanent position as your sofa sidekick.
