About Bacari

Bacari is a charming, senior gentleman with a knack for curling up into cozy shapes for his frequent naps. He’s litter-box trained and tends to seek out his trusted catnip banana toy when playful moods strike, or his cat dancer wire toy when he wants to show off his energy. Cuddles are on his terms—sometimes he’ll curl right up on you, other times he’s content observing the world from his window spot or meditating on the couch. Bacari is diabetic and needs insulin injections twice daily, along with prescription diabetic food. He takes his shots calmly, not minding the routine. Brushing sessions are more of a head-chin massage for him and he’ll nudge into the bristles with obvious delight. Bacari hasn’t lived alongside other pets and is best as the only cat, in a quiet home with no children; an experienced adopter who can read a cat’s shifting moods would suit him well. Bacari was born in August, making him a proud Leo—confident, independent, and always ready to claim the best nap spot. They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now!
