Story
ALEX is a very cute and sweet brown and white tabby with almond shaped eyes, beautiful facial markings, and is approximately 1 to 1.5 years old. If you are looking for an exceptionally affectionate and loving cat who thinks you are the best, Alex is the boy for you. With his long legs, soft fur, playful curiosity, and affectionate personality, Alex is looking for a home where he can settle in, explore, play and, most important, have people of his own to love.
Alex is a social cat who loves being near his person. Sit down on the floor and there is a good chance he will climb right into your lap; stretch out, and he may curl up tightly beside you or settle across your chest and stomach for a cuddle. He is not a fan of being held or restrained, but he loves affection and is wonderfully easygoing. Alex also makes a delightful work-from-home companion. He is content to nap quietly nearby and periodically stops by to sit on your lap or desk and check in. If he hasn't seen you for a while, he may greet you with his wonderfully unusual little conversational chirps, chatters, and merps, as though he has been saving up stories to tell you.
When he isn't cuddling or napping, Alex is an active and curious young guy. He loves batting toy mice across the floor, wrestling with his kicker toy, exploring his surroundings and keeping tabs on the neighborhood from a window. Birds, squirrels, chipmunks and passing dogs all make excellent television. He is also very good about using both horizontal and upright scratching posts. Alex likes having room to explore, but what he really wants is to be wherever his people are. Give him a whole house to investigate and, once he has completed his rounds, he is likely to come right back and hang out in the same room with you. He has a lovely combination of independence and affection: he does not need to be attached to you every minute but he clearly enjoys your company and regularly comes back for attention and cuddles.
Alex has been around the other cats in his foster home and is a little too in your face for their taste. He would probably enjoy being the only cat in his forever home with a person who is not gone long hours each day. He has not been around dogs or children in our program but should be fine with older kids. Cats can live 18+ years so be sure you can give Alex his forever home.
Axel is neutered, FeLV, FIV and heartworm negative, and distemper and rabies vaccinated. His adoption fee is $200. Call 651-771-5662 to ask about playful, sweet Alex.
