Meet Gordon, the fabulous almost 5-year-old silver chinchilla Persian with that outrageously plush coat and a look that says, "I can't even..." 😼 This striking fellow is breathtakingly beautiful and, oh yes, he is well aware of it! ✨ Before joining the rescue family, Gordon spent quite a lot of time on his own, resulting in a lovely blend of independence and selectivity when it comes to affection. He’s not about to be your cuddly lap warmer on demand—his personal space is sacred! However, when treated with respect, he enjoys existing nearby, keeping a watchful eye on his humans from a comfortable distance. 👀 Now, don’t let that aloof persona fool you; Gordon has a soft spot that comes alive during snack time! Churu treats are his love language, and he welcomes gentle pets as long as they’re served with a side of deliciousness. Just a little heads up, though! He’s got a very honest communication style—if he’s had enough, he may express his discomfort with a light swat or nip (but no worries, no broken skin here!). He’s not aggressive—just a laid-back cat who knows what he wants! 🍽️ On the medical side, Gordon has a grade 3 heart murmur and will need a full cardiac workup with a specialist soon. Fortunately, he’s currently stable and feeling good! For his ongoing well-being, he’ll need to stay on prescription urinary food for life, and he’s been doing great with it—no litter box issues since he’s been in foster care! 💖 Gordon has cohabitated with two dogs and a toddler, but it's clear that he would thrive best in a quiet adult-only home with an experienced cat person. This understanding helps him feel safe, as not all feline friends are lap cats—some simply need time and a cozy corner to call their own. 🏠 Gordon will never be the stereotypical cuddler, but he definitely deserves a loving home that accepts him for who he is—stunning, opinionated, and uniquely quirky! So, if you appreciate a cat with boundaries, beauty, and a hint of attitude, then Gordon might just be your perfect match! 💕 Gordon’s adoption fee is $450, which covers all his essential medical needs and care. Remember, you must apply through the Buddy App! 🐾 Please note that same-day adoptions aren’t allowed. Thorough consideration for a lifelong commitment to Gordon is crucial, and many adoptions are finalized within 24 hours, after some thoughtful processing. To speed up this process, please remember to send in a walkthrough video of your home after scheduling a meet-and-greet. Thank you for your understanding! 📹 This adoption includes spaying/neutering, microchipping, FIV/FELV testing, up-to-date vaccinations, and flea treatments. 🐱 If you’re considering adopting a pair of fabulous felines, make sure to indicate that in your application, as priority is given to duo adoptions!
