Shimeji is a stunning buff tabby with lively spots and golden eyes that catch the light. At first, he kept his distance and wasn’t keen on snuggling, preferring his personal space, especially when it came to kisses. With time, though, he’s started to come around and show off his lighthearted side to those who respect his boundaries. Shimeji’s new person should be patient and accepting of his quirks, and they’ll be rewarded with a cat who talks to them, follows them around for pets, and enjoys interactive play. He’s social with other cats and thrives with feline friends. Being picked up isn’t his favorite, but he’s learned to put up with it, and while he occasionally tolerates a head peck, he’ll let you know he’s not impressed. Treats are a guaranteed way to his heart. Shimeji needs an indoor-only home where he can safely watch the world go by, and he should never be declawed. His adoption fee covers his neuter, microchip, and up-to-date vaccinations. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
