Meet Scratch!!

Male/Neutered

Age: Almost 3 years

Adoption Fee: $145

Scratch is a big, handsome boy with a little street cred to show for it. Those scars? They're not flaws, they're proof of a life lived and the reason he earned his very cool name.

He's a former street cat with a confident personality and prefers to be the one and only feline in the home. Other cats need not apply; Scratch likes to be in charge and won't hesitate to take control.

This guy has a lot to say and will happily chat with you while accepting some well-timed pats. He enjoys affection on his terms: short petting sessions are perfect, he lets you know, when he's had enough, it's best to listen. He's not a biter or scratcher, he just appreciates having his boundaries respected. He's also not a fan of being picked up (yet).

Beneath that tough exterior, he's a tough guy who's ready to come out of his shell in the right home.

Scratch absolutely loves a good scratching post and would thrive in a home that understands his independent streak and lets him be himself.

If you're looking for a cool, confident companion with personality for days, Scratch might just be your guy.
