August - Domestic Short Hair Cat Available for Adoption in Bellingham, Washington

Hi, my name is August! I'm a PURPLE pawprint, which means I will fit well into a home that meets some specific criteria. Here is what would work best for me in my new home:
-Personality: Friendly, vocal, easily overstimulated
-Can Live with Cats: August has never lived with another cat. He would likely prefer to be an only cat.
-Can Live with Dogs: August has never lived with dogs. He might be okay with a calm and cat savvy dog, so long as they are introduced safely.
-Can Live with Kids: August would often scratch the baby in his previous household. His overstimulation will require him to go to a cat-experienced, adults only household.
-Needs Indoor Only Home: Yes, August is used to living indoors.
-History of Litter Box Issues: August was surrendered for peeing outside of his litter box. It does not seem to be a medical issue, and switching to clay litter seems to have helped in the shelter.
-Energy Level: Moderate
-Bite History: None
-Needs Medical Procedure Before Going Home: Nope!
Additional Information:
Meet August, a sweet oddball of a cat who is looking for his forever home. He can be pretty nervous in new situations and he gets overstimulated easily. But once he is settled and comfortable, he is a very affectionate and social companion. He would do best in an adults only household that understands cat body language. If you think August is the cat for you, adopt today!

If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application on our website (www.whatcomhumane.org/adopt) or in person at our facility. We recommend calling into the shelter after your application has been submitted so our front desk can give you next steps on our adoption process.
