About Larry

Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you. Larry is a cat who walks to his own beat. Around a year old, he thrives in the company of other cats, happily sharing space in a multicat home. When it comes to people, Larry starts off reserved, preferring to observe from the vantage point of a cozy cat tree or nestled in a wall-mounted box. With a dash of patience and perhaps a sprinkle of catnip, Larry quietly blossoms, showing off a sweet and gentle personality and charming everyone with his dainty meow. Larry is seeking a home where his unique quirks are celebrated and his process of warming up is respected. He’ll reward your care with endearing moments and a tender, affectionate presence. They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now!
