Birch - bonded with Oak - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Pickering, Ontario

Birch is a handsome salt-and-pepper fur companion with a gentle and sweet nature. He enjoys the simple things in life, like lounging in a sunny window and watching the world go by.

He’s a big fan of food and treats (they’re definitely the way to his heart!) and loves spending time with his scratching pad. Once he feels comfortable, Birch shows his playful side and can be quite entertaining.

Birch can be a little reserved when meeting new people, so he’ll need a patient adopter who can give him time to settle in at his own pace. He’s also sensitive to loud noises, so a calm, quiet home would suit him best. Because of this, he would do best in a home without young children.

Birch gets along well with his foster-mate Oak so it would be ideal if they could be adopted together.
