Phillip’s size hints at his Domestic Short Hair roots, a combination that gives him substance and character. He’s four years old, so you get the benefit of a cat who understands himself and knows how to make the most out of quiet moments. His affection is steady, his personality keen, and his need for comfort straightforward: a comfortable lap and a window to the world. Want to really see what he’s about? Meet him in person at Plattsburgh, NY—pictures don’t do justice to his presence. As a bonus, Phillip was born on June 7, making him a Gemini; expect wit and a playful streak. Ready to fall in love?
