Great Cats for Great Homes

Sonny is a snuggly cat senior cat of 11 years old who will thrive in an environment where his human is at home most of the time. He dislikes being left alone. He has lived happily with other cats as well as being the only pet and has lived both indoors only and indoors with access to outdoors. He seems most happy when he can go outside or be around other cats.

He is friendly and affectionate and loves to meet new people. At night he likes to lie on top of his person or right by their side. He knows his name and comes when called. He likes scratchies on the top of his head and rump and frequently meows for pets. He is quite vocal in general and “talks” a lot. At 11 years old he is still quite active. He still gets kitty zoomies sometimes in the evening. He likes to play and is very smart. He figures out most toys and puzzles right away and becomes quickly bored with them! His perpetual favorite, though, is a shoelace.

Sonny loves being brushed and will come with a brush and comb, as well as a tall cat tower, covered litter box (because he likes to fling his litter), and a variety of toys. His claws need to be trimmed once a month or so because he flexes his claws when he is relaxing on top of his person, which can be a needling experience if his nails are too long.

Even though Sonny loves his snuggles and pets, he will not allow himself to be picked up, nor does he willingly enter a carrier. He could use some training around this and in the meantime would need to be toweled.   Sonny misses having his person home all the time (think work-from-home during Covid).  Sonny has exhibited some negative behaviors as a result of stress because his owner’s circumstances changed from being at home most of the time to working outside the home full time.   Sonny should become happy and well-adjusted again once he is back in a home with a person who will be around for him.  Indoor or indoor/outdoor with supervision.  Rehoming fee is $75.
