Hey there, everyone! I’m Finn, short for Finnegan BeginAgain, a sweet, affectionate, very sociable, and chatty Turkish Van mix fella who’s mostly white except for dashes of black on my face and tail. Actually my tail starts out white and transitions to black. Cool! And the Turks would say that the two black spots on my right side are the thumbprints of Allah.

I thrive on affection and happily return it with gentle nose kisses, sweet little licks, and high-volume purrs. I’m a true lap cat because my favorite place is curled up close to Foster Meowmy so I can soak in all the love that I can garner. But I’m no couch potato! No siree! I’m curious, silly and playful! I’ll chase just about any toy she gives me, and if she’s busy, I’ll make my own fun. I can keep myself, her, and the resident cats entertained for hours. Sometimes I get a little extra excited and give playful gummy nibbles, which are just part of my innocent, youthful feline charm.

Whether I’m asking to be picked up, inviting playtime, or requesting some well-deserved attention, I’m not shy to speak up. My soft, whispery meow often triggers a relaxing, tingling sensation from Foster Meowmy’s scalp down to her spine, a phenomenon that’s called ASMR. She testifies that this pleasant “brain massage” is truly relaxing. That is, until every now and then my meow turns into the cutest high-pitched squeak. I’m still figuring out my voice, okay? Once I’ve gotten her attention, my little chirps melt away into pure contentment. I also greet just about anyone because strangers are just friends who haven’t petted me yet.

Now I’m ready to bring my relaxing ASMR meows to relieve my future forever family’s stress and insomnia. Could that be you? Are you itching for a bevy of whiskered nose kisses? Or needing to be entertained by my pro-soccer maneuvers? Then arrange to meet me! My big heart is just as gigantic as my love for people, and all I need is YOU!
