Juniper - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in York, Pennsylvania

Looking for a cat that's unforgettable? Like, you wouldn't be able to ignore him even if you wanted to? Meet Juniper. Juniper is a cat for people who are not into the 'aloof and quiet companion' idea. This is a cat you will play tug of war with. Like, he will catch the wand toy and then try to drag it away whether you're holding the other end of not. This is a cat who steals food from a baby (as in, he grabs the food straight out of the kitten's bowls when he walks by) and will probably steal it from your plate or countertop too. This is a cat who yells at us to let him out of his cage and then continues to chat away at you while he snoops around. Affectionate? Yes. Loud? Probably. A little bit rough around the edges and you can tell he came in off the street? For sure. He's got the scar tissue to prove it.

Due to his background, we don't know how Juniper feels about living with other cats, dogs, or small children. While Juniper has tolerated some cats at the shelter, he's happy to complain and smack at others, so we don't think he'd be devastated to go it solo. Juniper can be bossy and opinionated, so we would match him with others with care. We always recommend slow, well-managed introductions to housemates following an adjustment period in order to set everyone up for success. People looking for a goblin or a gremlin will fall immediately in love with Juniper's bold temperament, and we'll be happy to give him a bigger space to rule over when they do.
