As his name implies, Astro is out of this world! If your lap is empty, he will warm it. If your heart is empty, he will fill it. While he may initially seem nervous when he finds himself in a new situation, he can't resist head and chin pets and may even choose them over treats! (Disclaimer: belly and butt petting excluded-too personal). This cuddle bug gets an A+ in the furry baby sitter category, having lived with children who ranged in age from two to eleven. He's accustomed to living indoors and happily played with his feline friend when he wasn't with the kids or swatting wand toys. Unfortunately, his people had to bring their beloved Astro to us when the landlord said "no pets." Astro has been in foster care, where he quickly went from scared to making air biscuits, a cat's way of saying, he's content. He loves the attention he's been getting there and falls asleep with his paw on his foster. Astro's patiently awaiting the security and love that a new home will provide. Are you looking for an out of this world experience? Let Astro take you there. Change is hard for this cat. This cat will be very nervous when you first bring them home. You will need to set up a room with a litter box, food, and water. It will take days for this cat to become comfortable and confident in the new home. This cat will be going home with a behavior plan that will need to be followed in order for everyone to transition successfully. Ready to Adopt?
