What my friends at OHS say about me:

• I am not for the first time cat owner. Someone very familiar with feline body language is a must for me.
• I'm a very active and curious boy - I love to run, jump, and explore!
• I really enjoy playing with toys! I'll let you know my favorite when we meet.
• I enjoy getting some pets from my people when I'm taking a break from playing and running around.
• I sometimes think humans are toys - chasing, pouncing, and grabbing onto arms and legs. I'll need help with re-directing my energy onto appropriate toys as well as being rewarded when I'm in a calm and relaxed state.
• I am a silly, energetic, funny little guy who is sure to make you laugh!
• Overstimulation: I enjoy interacting with people, but petting can easily become overwhelming and unpleasant for me. Even if I was enjoying it moments before, I may exhibit my discomfort in a variety of ways, including biting, and need an owner who pays close attention to my body language. I will need positive outlets for my energy, hands off playtime, a calm environment, and the ability to make decisions on my terms.
Handling Sensitivity: I can be overwhelmed by overhandling, restraint or touch. I may exhibit my discomfort in a variety of ways and will need to go to cat savvy home.
• Fearful Behavior: I can be worried about new people or new surroundings. I prefer to take things at my own pace and will need to go home to a calm environment.

The type of home I'm looking for:

• I may do best in a home where there is a resident cat for me to play with!
• I need to live in an adult only home.
• It could be with you! Click here to learn about the adoption process.
