Papaya

My story

What my friends at ACC say about me:My Foster wrote: Does your home have shelves of fragile heirlooms? Are you a collector of choochkies and memorabilia? Do you have a habit of leaving half full beverages on the nightstand? If you answered yes to one or more of these questions, this is NOT your cat! Papaya aka Bowie has spent the better part of the fall cage-bound healing from major surgery on his leg. Fast forward to now: he is a healthy playful kitten in a grown cat's body making up for lost time! If he comes home with you be assured that no surface will go uninvestigated, no toy will be ignored, and no opportunity to test the laws of gravity will be missed! This is a cat with such side splitting antics, he could mesmerize a social media algorithm! Thankfully when the zoomies subside, he has a docile side. He loves a good snuggle and will talk you up with his sweet chirps and purrs. He'll even tolerate being scooped up for little hug. We believe that he will do well in any home with limited breakables and lots of love.I have medical needs that staff will address with you when you meet me.Cheek and chin scratches make me so happy!I am a cat that is in need of a lap! I can't wait to be your new lap cat.I am looking for a home with a patient person.My foster writes: Meet Papaya - Your Playful, Affectionate Sidekick!Papaya is the perfect mix of sweet, cuddly, and high-energy fun! This affectionate boy loves company and will happily follow you around, always ready for cuddles or a game of fetch -yes, he plays fetch and even brings his toy right back to you! He adores mouse toys, teasers, catnip, and his scratching post, and he's a pro at climbing cat shelves and wall mounts.Papaya is full of energy and will need at least 45-60 minutes of playtime each day to keep him happy and engaged. To ease the demand for constant engagement, Papaya would thrive in a home with another playful cat to wrestle, groom, and cuddle with. He has impeccable litter box habits, a healthy appetite, and zero behavioral issues - just pure charm and fun!If you're looking for a loving, energetic, and endlessly entertaining companion, Papaya is your guy! Any adopter would be incredibly lucky to have him. Primary Color: Champagne Weight: 8.2 Age: 1yrs 2mths 3wks
