If you could bottle sunshine, add whiskers, and give it a purr… you’d get Patrick.
This handsome guy is about one year old, which means he’s past the tiny-kitten chaos stage but still very much in his fun, playful, “let’s be best friends immediately” era. Patrick is the kind of cat who doesn’t wait for an invitation. He walks right up, says hello, and assumes you came over specifically to pet him. Honestly? He’s usually right.
Patrick is:
* 🫶 Sweet and affectionate * 🎉 Social and outgoing * 🐾 Curious and playful * 💚 Always ready to be part of whatever you’re doing
Cooking dinner? He’ll supervise. Folding laundry? Quality control. Sitting down for five seconds? Perfect lap opportunity.
He thrives on interaction and would love a home where he can be included in daily life. He’s confident, friendly, and the kind of cat guests will immediately comment on because he actually comes out to say hello.
At just around a year old, Patrick has so many years of companionship ahead. He’s ready to settle into a home where he can share his easygoing charm and steady affection.
✨ Adoption Fee: $75 This includes his neuter, vaccinations, and everything needed to start his next chapter.
If you’re looking for a cat who brings warmth, personality, and a whole lot of heart into a room, Patrick is ready to meet you.
Apply to adopt at EffinghamCountyHumaneSociety.org and come see why everyone falls for Patrick.
