Domestic Medium Hair Cats Available for Adoption

This kitty is a little different than the pets we normally post. He has lived in an overcrowded house for much of his life and has lost his amicable disposition. He's not exactly mean, just grumpy and he will hiss if you try to pick him up or grab him. He is very vocal and will let you know when he wants to be fed. This big boy has a healthy appetite! After staying here for a couple of weeks, he started asking for pets and scratches, and soon let people cautiously approach him as long as they offered a kind hand. We believe someone would like to adopt him who understands his personality. Our vet has advised that he live as a barn cat, though not as a hunter. Perhaps, if he has a catio, he would be very happy. Our wish for him is a quiet life full of cozy bedding and fresh air and sunshine.

Medical Note: He was recently discovered to have a heart murmur and the vet has predicted that anyone who adopts him should be accepting that he might suddenly go to sleep. I am not sure how bad the murmur is and it's only been there no longer than a year, so he may have several years left. He came to us after the original owner had passed away and the inheritor did not know details on him. While he's not the cuddly and playful kitten many adopters are looking for, he deserves a comfortable life.
