Hi there. I'm Squishy-the big cat around here, the cool cat, maybe even the leader of the pack. That might be because I've got big paws and I'm clearly growing into a very big kitty, both in size and in presence.
I'm still learning how to be brave, but I try every day. One of my favorite confidence-boosters is food. Wet food, soft center treats, squeeze treats-I love them all, and I'm very good at eating them. When I'm enjoying a meal, that's when I feel safest, and I absolutely love being pet from my shoulders all the way down to my tail. Head pets are still a little scary for me, but I'm working on it.
I'm excellent at playing with wand toys-please consider recruiting me for your wand toy team. I'll rub against the wand, nearby furniture, and table legs while we play, because what I really want is to be brave enough for your hands. Sometimes I just need a little extra distance while I build trust, and the wand helps me feel safe while we bond.
I enjoy watching birds from my window seat and love curling up with the other cats for naps. I'm a protective big brother type, and the other cats seem to look up to me. I do fine with cats, but dogs are a bit overwhelming right now. A very calm, lazy dog might be okay with time, but boisterous ones make me nervous.
I'm fully litter box trained and don't have separation anxiety. What I truly need is a patient person or family who understands that trust is earned slowly-with toys, treats, wet food, and kindness. If you're willing to take that journey with me, I promise it will be worth it.
My adoption fee includes up-to-date vaccinations, dewormer, and heartworm/flea prevention. Plus, a microchip that is already registered to you! What more could you ask for?
