Adopt a Domestic Short Hair

Selectively Cuddly, Quite Curious, Smart With Syrup in charge, things run like clockwork! He is regal and firmly believes he is King of the Household. He chooses his inner court, with the chosen ones receiving his warmest affection. Actually, it's not very complicated how he chooses his favorites; if you are the first to arrive home, you are his favorite! He will follow you around and supervise your activities, making sure that anything that has to do with him is performed to high standards. That means a warm lap to cuddle in, a chest to purr on, and at bedtime, a human to sleep with. And if you haven't quite made his inner circle (yet), he will accept petting and scratching from you as you watch TV, rewarding you with his purr. So you see, Syrup is a kind ruler! And one who smartly recognizes his limitations. The dog in his foster home is blind, and is very curious about Syrup. Syrup is fine being in the same room with her, though he still keeps a safe distance; but he has figured out how to quietly and stealthily move around her to stay below her radar! He respects her, so uses his clever catness to get along. Though a bit advanced in age, Syrup still has a favorite toy: any toy on a string! He is so over toys with bells or toys that make a noise. He moves smoothly and elegantly when he jumps on the bed or runs around, his eyes alert and earnest and his ears pointy and perky. It interests him to roam the house, checking out nooks and crannies, and looking for new places to hang out - especially if they are elevated, like in a window, where he can survey his kingdom. Perhaps he would like a strategically-placed cat tree in his new home? Syrup is working to gain some weight, and has some dental issues to be resolved. He is a healthy FIV+ (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus) cat. FIV+ cats typically live long, healthy lives!

He has been around teenagers, and as long as he has peaceful places to nap and a warm lap to cuddle in, he is good-to-go! Contact us today to meet this chic and exquisite gentleman. Syrup is one of hundreds of cats and kittens that APA! has rescued from the perils of Hurricane Harvey. Most of these kitties are up for adoption and in need of a forever home.
