My story

Hi, I’m Hector and I’m ready to charm my way into your home and your heart! I’m a slender little tabby with a very cute face (so I’m told) and bright green eyes that I use to my full advantage. I love meeting new people. When you come say hi, I’ll instantly weave through your legs, give you a friendly head-butt, and then politely request pets. I have excellent manners. I’m not a full-time cuddler, but if you’re relaxing on the couch, I might surprise you by hopping up for a cozy snuggle. I spend most of my day napping but when I’m awake, I enjoy exploring the house and watching the world from a windowsill like the curious gentleman I am. I’m not very vocal, but I will chirp when I see food or when I wake from a really good nap. Speaking of food—open a can of wet food and I’ll magically appear. I love food. Playtime is also important to me. Teaser wands and spring toys are my favorites and bring out my playful side. Also, I may have a slight obsession with plastic bags, I love to lick and claw at them, so you'll need to keep those away from me. Loud noises, however, are not appreciated—especially the vacuum, hard pass. I can peacefully share a home with a calm, older dog. We won’t play, but I’m perfectly fine coexisting as long as I have my own space to retreat to. I’m also okay with gentle kids who understand and respect my boundaries. At night, I like to switch it up between my bed and under your bed but in the morning, I’ll quietly jump up and nestle next to you, wait patiently, and chirp a little hello once everyone starts stirring. If you’re looking for a sweet, friendly, low-key companion with adorable chirps, excellent head-butts, and a talent for quiet cuddles, I might just be your guy.   Adoption fee: $200, includes first 2 FVRCP vaccines, sterilized, dewormed, flea preventative, microchip   If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application and a representative will get back to you shortly to answer any questions you may have. The adoption policies and applications can be found at the following links: https://fancycats.org/adopt-a-cat and https://fancycats.org/adopt-a-dog. Email us at  adoption@fancycats.org for general questions about our rescued cats. Email us at dogadoptions@fancycats.org for general questions about our rescued dogs. See our calendar of adoption events at https://fancycats.org/(scroll towards bottom) You can save animals like this one by becoming a foster! Fosters are like bridges between high kill shelters and forever homes. We need fosters so that we can save cats and dogs before they are euthanized at the shelters. If you are interested in becoming a foster, please visit: https://fancycats.org/volunteerApril 5, 2026, 10:24 am

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