Laris is a striking long-haired white and tabby boy born on October 8, 2025, with a look that's impossible to forget. His soft, fluffy coat will require regular brushing, but grooming happens to be one of his favorite ways to bond with his people. In fact, one of the quickest ways to win Laris over is with a gentle brushing session, a tasty lickable treat, or an interactive play session. He also has a unique marking on the back of his head that resembles the famous "Scream" character, giving him an extra touch of personality and charm. His beautiful coat, sweet face, and expressive eyes make him a truly handsome young cat.

While Laris can be shy and skittish when first approached, underneath that cautious exterior is an absolute purr machine who adores being petted once he feels safe. He'll need a patient adopter willing to give him the time and understanding he needs to build trust, but the reward is a loving companion who enjoys affection and companionship. Laris is also playful and enjoys wand toys, balls, and anything that lets him show off his fun side. He gets along wonderfully with other gentle, friendly cats and would thrive in a home with kind feline companions, but he would not do well with aggressive or dominant cats. With patience, love, and a little playtime, Laris will blossom into a devoted and affectionate best friend.
