About Aries

Meet Aries. He’s a careful but curious cat who takes a little while to get comfortable with new faces, but once he settles in, he likes to be close—just not in your arms. Aries likes his independence, preferring to lounge nearby and watch what’s happening with his steady gaze. Don’t expect him to be a lap cat, but bring out a laser toy and you’ll see a different side of him: fast, agile, and fully engaged, especially when he’s on his cat wheel showing off. Aries needs a peaceful environment and does best in a calm, quiet home. He appreciates having other cats around and actually has a close bond with his brother Gemini and sister Ursa. If you have space in your heart for a trio, they’d love to stay together. Aries embodies his namesake: courageous and determined, though still shy when meeting new people. He doesn’t get along with dogs or children, so a cat-savvy, adult household suits him best. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
