Hello! Looking for good family to adopt this amazing cat. He’s social, great with children and other cats! Unfortunately due to my new routine I’m barely home, I realize it’s healthier for him to have more social connection. Serious inquiries only! Text #916-621-7774

Story
Declawed, 9 yrs old. We found out our grandson is allergic to cats. He is a very social cat and will greet visitors. Our grandkids are around him when they visit.He likes to sit on your lap and will be in whatever room you are in. Gets up early and is allowed to go outside with a tractive collar. He visits other indoor cats on their decks on a regular basis so I believe he would like other cats. He is 13 lbs. He sleeps at our feet every night. He is very verbal and will meow to have you follow him to either get a treat or play with him with his toys. I can close my hand over the food and he has been taught to touch my hand with his paw to open my hand and eat. We will offer his water fountain, feeder and Tractive collar and some other item for $30.

Story
I am graduating soon and I am hardly ever home. Theodore loves interaction and does week with kids and other animals. I am not home enough to give him the attention and love he deserves. He is declawed in the front and loves snuggles. Along with the price for him I would provide an automatic feeder, a cat water, fountain, and a litter robot if wanted.

Story
Sol is about 10 years old. He is prefers to be outdoors most of the time, and isn't tolerant of being locked indoors for long periods (he gets very vocal). He is thin because he has a metabolic disorder (hyperthyroidism), but it doesn't slow him down. We tried to medicate him regularly for the disorder, but he wasn't cooperative and we gave up. Sol is easy going and very loving when he gets to know you. He likes to cuddle in your lap, particularly in the Winter. I don't know what breed he is. He is very long and lean. He has medium length white hair which he sheds quite a bit in the Spring. We can't keep Sol any longer because our neighborhood has become overrun by foxes and it is no longer safe for him. He has been in some serious fights with foxes and has had to be treated by a vet for infections.
