Zahir

My story

Meet Zahir – the wild child with a lion’s mane and a heart full of zoomies. This 1.5-year-old long-haired tabby is all go, no slow. If you're looking for a chill lap cat—keep scrolling. But if you want a high-energy feline who will chase a feather toy like his life depends on it, wrestle with his cat friends like he’s training for the Kitty Olympics, and keep you endlessly entertained, Zahir might just be your guy. Zahir loves other cats—but only if they can match his rough-and-tumble play style. He can be a bit much for calmer cats and definitely takes his sweet time warming up to new feline friends. That said, once he bonds, he thrives with another energetic playmate to help him burn off all that excess energy. He enjoys attention from his humans and is happy to be held (when he’s not mid-play session), but he is not a cuddler or lap cat. Zahir is also not a fan of brushing—despite his fabulous long coat that mats easily—so he’ll need an experienced long-haired cat owner or regular trips to the groomer to keep his floof in check. Once he’s spent all his energy, Zahir will happily lounge around with his feline crew. He’d do best in a home with older kids or adults only, where he can be loved for the spirited, spunky character he is. If you're ready to keep up with a bold, playful, attention-loving cat who lives life at full speed, Zahir is ready to run headfirst into your heart. Please be sure to read a cat's full bio before applying! We do our best to keep bios updated as we learn more about each cat or as circumstances change. The bio is the best place to find the most current and important information about their needs, personality, and ideal home. Thank you for your interest in adopting from Scruffy Paws Animal Rescue!
