My story

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

Meet Duke — Your Big, Cuddly Lovebug

Duke is a gentle giant with a heart as big as his paws. At a little over 7.5 years old, he’s perfectly content spending his days being held, purring up a storm, and soaking up all the affection you’re willing to give.

This lovable big boy is currently on a diet, so he needs someone patient enough to ignore his clever attempts at convincing you he hasn’t been fed yet… or that he desperately needs a second breakfast. Spoiler: he’s a master of persuasion, but you can win this battle with a little consistency.

Duke is happiest as the only pet in the home — other animals stress him out, so he’d thrive as your one-and-only companion. He’s a big fan of a cozy, oversized cat bed where he can curl up like the royalty he truly is.

If you’re looking for a devoted, snuggly cat who will happily be your lap-warmer, Duke is ready to steal your heart (and maybe sneak a little extra love while you’re not looking). 🖤

Please be sure to read a cat's full bio before applying! We do our best to keep bios updated as we learn more about each cat or as circumstances change. The bio is the best place to find the most current and important information about their needs, personality, and ideal home.

Thank you for your interest in adopting from Scruffy Paws Animal Rescue! If this post is still up, we are still accepting applications for this cat(s)/kitten(s). There's no need to email us about availability, just submit an application if you're interested! For more information about our adoption process, please visit our website: https://scruffypawsanimalrescue.org/about-adoption/

All adoption fees include:
- Spay/neuter surgery Adoption Process
- Microchip
- Rabies and distemper vaccinations
- Proof of FIV/feline leukemia testing
- Flea treatment & deworming
- A veterinary exam

Please Note: Scruffy Paws operates by appointment only and is not open to the public. Many of our cats and kittens are in foster homes, so for the safety of our fosters and adopters, an approved adoption application is required before scheduling a meet-and-greet.

Additional adoption info

Our adoption process is detailed and takes time because we strive to match each adopter with the perfect cat while ensuring our cats find the best possible homes.

Please be sure to read a cat's full bio before applying! We do our best to keep bios updated as we learn more about each cat or as circumstances change. The bio is the best place to find the most current and important information about their needs, personality, and ideal home.

Why Was a Cat’s Bio Removed?

From time to time, you may notice that a cat’s bio has been removed from our website. There are several possible reasons for this, and we want to provide some clarity.

Most often, a bio is removed because the cat has been adopted — which is always wonderful news!

In other cases, a bio may be temporarily taken down because the cat is receiving medical care or treatment, and we want to focus on their recovery before accepting new applications.

Sometimes, we remove a bio because we’ve received an overwhelming number of applications and need time to carefully review them. We work hard to thoughtfully match each cat with the best possible home, and that process takes time.

Lastly, a bio may be removed if the cat has an upcoming meet-and-greet, and we are waiting to see how that visit goes before moving forward.

If a cat’s bio is no longer posted, it simply means they are not currently available for new applications. We always update our website as soon as a cat becomes available again.

Thank you for your understanding and for supporting our rescue efforts! 🐾
