My story

Pappa Bear is the sweetest most mild-mannered guy. He is formerly a neighborhood cat from my sister's neighborhood. Once my sister and I saw how sweet he is we decided to take him to the vet to get examined and neutered. He came home with me for convalescence and has remained with me indoors ever since. He has acclimated exceptionally! He does not jump on counters or anything else but enjoys lounging on my sofas, gazing out windows and sitting/sleeping in my lap. He has plenty of toys he loves to play with. He also has an automatic kitty litter box. Toys and litter box will go with him. He's not particular about scratching posts but prefers floor style scratching mats that will go with him too. He understands a few verbal commands ("come here Pappa" and "go Pappa"). He also comes when I do "wiggle fingers" (using four fingers). Vet said he's about 3 years old. Wants lots of love and hugs. I would love to tell you so much more about Pappa Bear! :)

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Pappa Bear, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
