How I Arrived At NHS: I was adopted but there were no other animals in the home so my playful energy had no other place to go but towards my person. When I came back, I went into a foster home so they could see if I would do better with other cats to play with.
Notes from my foster mom: When I brought Albert home, it was a test to see if he would calm down in a home where he could play with other cats. It only took a few days for him to get used to the other male cats in my home and once he started playing with them, most of his energy was focused with them. He then saved his affection for people and comes to me when it's time to cuddle with a huge purr the whole time. He loves to be held but he tends to get a little overstimulated and will nip at your chin or fingers. You can see him getting ramped up so I just pull away or will put him down until he calms down. He's not being mean, just wants you to know that he wants more please. He really reminds me of what we call single kitten syndrome where they don't learn how to play politely with other kittens so can be mouthier. He definitely needs to live with another playful cat/kitten or possibly even a playful dog to keep him company. He will not do well by himself.
He's actually a very sweet boy who just needs a little direction for his energy and he'll be a great companion. The longer he's with me, the cuddlier he gets. Loves to sleep on you at bedtime. He's always very happy to see you when you come home - we all need someone like that to greet us!
Good With Kids: Possibly. Did well with the kids in home but can get a little rough with his play. We recommend older children and slow introductions.
Good With Cats: yes, has to go into a home with another playful cat/kitten. Should not go into a home with a shy/scared cat.
Good With Dogs: Unknown but I think he might enjoy a playful dog once he got used to them.
Cats are feline leukemia/feline immunodeficiency virus tested (if applicable), if there is a litter, one in the litter is tested or the queen is tested. They have had at least their first distemper combo (booster given if been in our care for the appropriate time), been de-wormed, microchipped, and treated with a flea and tick product (if applicable). All the cats are spayed or neutered before they leave for their forever homes
