Buddy

My story

Meet Buddy – a foodie, a gentle soul, and a certified stuffed-penguin cuddler. 🐧✨ Buddy is a 3.5–4-year-old black and white gentleman who’s traded in his rough outdoor days for a quieter, cozier life—and he’s very ready for a forever home that fits his vibe. Found limping and battle-worn, we suspect Buddy had a few too many run-ins with other cats while surviving outside. Now, he prefers the solo life—no other feline roommates, please—and he’s looking for a calm, cat-savvy home with older kids or adults only. Buddy is shy at first and will need some time (and patience) to settle into a new space. But once he trusts you? Get ready for head bumps, pets-on-demand, and his famous impressive zoomies that seem to come out of nowhere. He’s also obsessed with wand toys and will chase, leap, and pounce with kitten-level enthusiasm. A big-time foodie with a strong preference for dry food, Buddy isn't always on board with your low-calorie suggestions—but hey, we all have our weaknesses. (His is kibble. And possibly penguins.) Speaking of which—Buddy’s current best friend is his emotional support stuffed penguin. He snuggles it, naps with it, and seems to draw a lot of comfort from its silent companionship. It’s ridiculously cute. If you're looking for a one-cat-only kind of companion—one who’s quirky, playful, affectionate once he trusts you, and just wants a calm corner of the world to call his own—Buddy might be your guy. Come meet the low-key, lovable cat with a tender heart and a soft spot for plush birds. 🖤 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!
