Blackie is just past five years old and recently lost the only person he ever truly bonded with. His owner’s passing left him sad and slow to trust again, but he’s starting to come around with patience. Blackie has a gentle routine—he loves curling up on laps, especially with a towel for comfort, and those silent moments of petting where he sometimes gives playful love bites. He doesn’t want to be picked up but will find his way to you when he’s ready. Temptations treats, chicken flavor in the yellow tub, are the fastest way to his heart. He has a quirky habit of pawing food out of his bowl and lights up around toys—especially his scratcher or a trackball toy. Born November 3rd, Blackie is a Scorpio, which explains his loyal streak and deep connection to people. Ready to meet him in Mishawaka, IN?
