Alex

My story

My foster writes:Alex is bonded to his sister Marley and they make quite the dynamic duo. They enjoy play wrestling and relaxing together for very funny and entertaining viewing. Alex can be a bit more independent and likes to go on his own mini adventures. His true joys are during playtime as he loves to show off his jumps and acrobatic skills. Extra high jumps if he gets the chance to play on the couch or bed! Outside of play, Alex likes his peace and quiet and curling up for favorite naps. He gives you your space during the day to get work done, but might come by and lie down near your feet just to do a quick check-in. Alex is not necessarily one for cuddles and brushes, instead he bonds with you through fun and games. He should be going to a home that is a bit more quiet as both him and Marley prefer slow introductions to new people and surroundings. Once he does however, Alex makes for a great cat buddy who is always down for some fun.Alex is an adult cat that may not have had many interactions with humans from an early age. They are apprehensive of people and while showing no aggressive behaviors, they appreciate attention and petting but may be fearful or stressed in the shelter, and may be intimidated by small children. Please be mindful that older cats will require more time and skill in order for them to be comfortable around people, we recommend offering high value treats and food to help build a positive association to humans. Due to the behaviors seen in the care center, we feel that this cat will do best in an experienced, adult only home. I came in with multiple cats and am currently housed with my sibling, Marley (225640) who I am bonded with!

Except both of these adorable cats seem to patiently and adorably look to us for their entertainment. With one paw delicately perched on the ledge of his bed, Alex waited for me to introduce myself before presenting his neck for some scritches. Marley, meanwhile, prefers her perch to being downstairs when there are guests but she really, really loves pets. The circumstances need to be just right (i.e., calm and quiet) and when they are, she very sweetly leans in. They loved watching me try to play with them and every so often, Alex would stretch a paw up for the pipe cleaner feather. Alex and Marley came to us from a home with many other cats. Settling into any new environment comes with challenges and we're grateful that Alex and Marley have found so much comfort in each other.
