Meet Poe, a large personality in a long-haired, orange-tabby package. When Poe first came in, he was completely feral—territorial, quick with a swipe, and always keeping volunteers on their toes. For years, he ruled the roaming room with an iron paw, making it absolutely clear who was boss. Over time, though, things changed. These days, you’ll find Poe napping more than scuffling. He’s discovered the joys of lap time and a good petting session—sometimes he even asks to be picked up and rewards the right person with a steady purr. Poe is still particular about his boundaries. He won’t befriend everyone, and sometimes he’s a touch crabby. What he really needs is someone who appreciates his quirks and accepts that he’ll always be a bit of a character. After six years in the shelter, it’s time for Poe to finally have a home with someone who gets his blend of sweetness and independence. Poe is neutered, microchipped, house trained, and vaccinated, and he’s tested negative for FIV/FeLV and heartworm. Ready for a one-of-a-kind companion? Your new best friend is just one click away.
