About Pat

Pat is a mellow fellow who appreciates a quiet atmosphere and some gentle chin and cheek scratches. Right now, he enjoys being petted much more than being picked up or held, but with time and patience in a home setting, that could shift. Pat plays occasionally, especially if you’ve got a laser pointer. He’s easy-going and independent, not demanding constant attention, which makes him an excellent companion for someone who values a peaceful co-existence. Pat would likely get along well with calm, non-aggressive pets or would be content as an only cat. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
