Meet Pumpkin (Punky for short)!
Strangers? Pumpkin doesn't believe in them! Everyone is just a potential friend waiting to be made. This outgoing, friendly, affectionate boy is ready to make himself right at home in your heart.
Punky came to NHS after living in a loving home, but due to his owner's health, he found himself back at the shelter looking for a new forever home.
What's Pumpkin's perfect day? Watching birds and wildlife from the window, hanging out near his favorite people, playing with catnip toys and wand toys, and getting LOTS of pets and attention! He's a lap cat at times and absolutely enjoys cuddling and stretching out across your lap. He does appreciate having a little time to do his own thing, too.
Punky is quite the talker! He may not be the biggest purrer, but he'll happily chat with you. He also shows affection with sweet little licks and sometimes tiny love nips. When playtime gets exciting, don't be surprised if he kicks with those back feet!
He already knows "no" and "get down," so he's got a few good manners under his belt.
If you're looking for a social, loving, playful companion who will keep you company, shower you with affection, and maybe even carry on a conversation, Pumpkin might just be your guy!
Come meet Punky at NHS and see if he's the missing piece of your family!

Cats have had a basic exam by our veterinary staff. Cats are feline leukemia/feline immunodeficiency virus tested if they are 6 months or older. They have had at least their first distemper combo vaccination (booster given if they have been in our care for the appropriate time), been given a general dewormer, microchipped, and given a flea/tick preventative. All cats are spayed or neutered before they leave for their forever homes.
