Lunaris - Domestic Long Hair and Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Fairfax, Virginia

Lunaris is a gentle, medium-energy boy with a sweet personality and a playful side that comes out once he feels safe. He can be a little fearful at first, especially around unfamiliar people or young children, but with patience he shows his well-behaved, affectionate nature. When he’s stressed, Lunaris tends to hide and rest for a bit, and usually feels better within an hour.
He gets along wonderfully with small dogs, older children, other cats, and even small animals. He enjoys being brushed, petted, and spending quiet time with people he trusts. Lunaris is also active at night and likes exploring when the world is calm.
Lunaris would thrive in a home that understands his cautious side and can offer a peaceful environment where he can open up at his own pace. If you’re looking for a friendly, gentle companion who loves animals and has a curious heart, Lunaris might be the perfect match.
