Cornelius The Third - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Austin, Texas

Distinguished Gentleman, Creamsicle Cutie, Professional Conversationalist

Cornelius The Third may have a very distinguished name, but this sweet senior gentleman is anything but stuffy! When he was rescued from life on the streets of Austin, Cornelius marched himself right into his carrier, apparently delighted that someone had finally arrived to escort him to a more civilized existence.

This handsome creamsicle-colored fellow is spectacularly unsuited to life outdoors. With his friendly nature, chatty personality, and appreciation for a good petting session, it's easy to imagine that Cornelius once enjoyed the comforts of a home.

Cornelius is a big, sweet guy who can be just a tiny bit timid at first, but his love of affection quickly wins out. He'll happily ask for rubs, soak up attention, and offer his opinions with a few well-placed meows.

After years of adventures that only Cornelius knows about, this lovely older gentleman deserves a soft place to land, plenty of affection, and someone who appreciates the finer things in life. Preferably delivered with a good chin scratch.

All APA! cats are fully vetted, spayed or neutered, and have updated vaccines and a microchip. Lifetime support is offered by our Cat Behavior Team.
