Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Anders! This fluffy, social sweetheart is ready to be your best furry friend. Anders adores pets and cuddle time and is as gentle and affectionate as they come. He loves being around people and makes an excellent welcoming committee—always ready to greet new faces with his soft meows and sweet personality. Anders is full of charm and silliness. When the zoomies strike, he’ll race around the house and pounce on toys or chase a feather stick with delight—before collapsing into a deep, cozy nap. He may not have pedigree papers, but Anders has the looks and loving nature of a dilute Balinese. He also has a quirky, bunny-like side: he likes to hop around and can be easily startled, so gentle handling is key. He’s happy to be picked up and snuggled as long as you're calm and slow. With his long, soft coat, brushing isn’t just something he enjoys—it’s a must. A few brushing sessions each week help keep him looking and feeling his best. Because Anders startles easily, he doesn’t do well with other cats. He’s met many—some aggressive, some kind—and unfortunately, he’s struggled to find harmony with any of them. He may be okay with a very chill cat who completely ignores him, but in most cases, he’ll do best as the only feline in the home. Anders also lives with a medical condition called megacolon, which affects his ability to pass stool normally. It’s a physical issue, not behavioral. With a high-fiber diet and a small daily dose of flavorless powder medicine (mixed into a treat like a Churu or Delectable), Anders poops outside his litter box roughly every other day. His foster says it’s easy to clean—just pick it up, flush it, and wipe the spot in under two minutes. In fact, it often makes litter box maintenance easier overall. Anders’ previous family loved him deeply, but they had to surrender him because of ongoing conflicts with their other cats. He was living in a room by himself and only allowed out for a few hours a day. Now, he’s ready for a fresh start—a peaceful home of his own, where he can zoom, explore, and soak up all the cuddles he wants. If you’re looking for a gentle, goofy, and endlessly lovable companion, Anders just might be your perfect match. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application. An adoption application is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is not a binding contract.
