Meet George Washington – the magnificent orange-and-white General who’s bravely marching his way to your heart! 🌟 This distinguished feline, with his regal presence, parks himself at the front of the kennel like he’s inspecting an army of pets. With a gentle, calm authority, he gives every visitor a slow blink that truly says, “Proceed... but come with respect.” Now, George might still be sporting a bit of shyness (let’s keep the sudden movements to a minimum, shall we?), but compared to his anxious roommates - Thomas Jefferson and John Adams - George is practically the life of the party! Though he’s still warming up, he allows gentle head scratches and even leans in a tad when you hit that sweet spot behind his ears. Can I get a round of applause for progress? 🎉 This is a full-on victory at Yorktown, folks! **Current Trust Status: Still Building:** - **Petting:** Yes! He’s dignifiedly accepting head scritches with the very beginning of a purr—how about that for progress? 😺 - **Picking Up:** Not just yet — while he’s okay with gentle scooting and medical handling, scooping him up for cuddles is still an uncharted territory. Let’s agree to wait until a “peace treaty” has been signed. - **Play:** Behind that composed exterior lies a secret delight in wand toys! Watch him execute polite, stately pounces when he thinks no one of importance is watching. 🎾 - **Other Cats:** He’s a pawsitive delight with his two presidential brothers! They groom, snuggle, and take turns demonstrating bravery. George would thrive with another familiar or confident cat friend, preferably one of his own kindred spirits. George Washington is on the lookout for a calm, adult home that will guide him gently from being a “wary orange statue” to a “lap-general who demands chin rubs at precisely 5 p.m.” Extra points if his new home includes a friendly companion - ideally one of his founding brothers! 🎖️ By celebrating every ounce of trust he builds, you’ll eventually end up with the most loyal biscuit-making patriot anyone could ask for! 🥐 He will be neutered, vaccinated, FIV/FeLV tested, microchipped, and fully prepared to embark on his forever journey as soon as his medical holds are lifted. If you’re ready for the honor of watching this gentle orange leader go from wary slow blinks to delightful purring parades across your living room, then General Washington is just waiting to cross the Delaware — right into your heart! And let’s be real, adopting him alongside Jefferson and/or Adams would make you the hero of 1776! Who wouldn’t want that? Don’t forget!
