My story

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

Scotchko is a distinguished gentleman who has perfected the art of relaxation. This handsome senior boy is calm, easygoing, and proudly embraces his lazy lifestyle. If you’re looking for a peaceful companion who enjoys the simple things in life, Scotchko is your guy.

As a senior kitty, Scotchko is past the wild kitten stage and is all about steady companionship. He would thrive in a relaxed home that appreciates the sweetness of a mellow, low-maintenance friend. Whether he’s stretched out beside you while you read or snoozing peacefully nearby, Scotchko would likely be happiest just being close.

If you are interested in adopting Scotchko, please visit the shelter during our adoption hours.
