- A very playful cat who loves to chase balls and his mouse toys

- Has lived with other cats and will likely enjoy an active playful cat buddy in his new home

- Will likely be a shy guy at first, so he is looking for an adopter who will allow him to take things at his own pace - he does best when he starts out in his own room and is slowly introduced to the rest of the house after a few days

- Has a lot of love to give and will be a terrific companion for a quiet person or two who will allow him to settle in at him own slow pace

- Once he gets comfortable with you, he will rub all over you and beg for so much attention!

- Will be best suited for home with older children or just adults; young, busy children are just too much for him

- Has some vision loss in left eye, most likely secondary to previous entropion. Foster noted that there may be vision limitations in home (more info at ARL)
