Story
Meet the handsome, affectionate, couch potato QUESO! He is 5 years old, 11lbs, gray American shorthair with a gentle personality. We adopted Queso from a local shelter 3 years ago. He was brought in with a bunch of other gray cats that were a part of a hoarding situation. It took him some time to be healthy enough to get adopted but his cute face and well behaved demeanor made him an easy choice. Queso is up to date on his Rabies vaccination, is neutered, and is microchipped. Queso is a very chill cat and has never bitten, scratched, or hissed at anyone. He has never been around other dogs, cats, or children while in our care however in the shelter and in the past he has been around other cats. Queso is not very active but he loves crinkle toys and will play fetch with you! He also loves puzzle toys so he can get a treat! Queso will gladly sit on your lap and snuggle up real close on the couch or in bed! His favorite spot at night is right next to you! He loves his owners very much and is shy to new people but will quickly warm up to them and will always accept head scratches. Queso is partially litter box trained due to his separation anxiety. If you are gone for long periods of time (more than 12 hours) or if a big change is happening around the house he might have an accident outside of the litterbox. However with a consistent schedule he does very well. He has never urinated outside of the litterbox only defacate. We are rehoming Queso because our schedule is very busy and we do not have the time to give Queso the attention he deserves. Quesoâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s ideal home would be a loving, home-body that maybe owns a second cat. We believe that with a consistent schedule and maybe a feline friend would make him happier and less anxious. This well behaved, friendly cat is deserving of the purrfect forever home.
