Howard carries the calm of his years in his steady gaze and trademark white paws. After more than a decade out in the world and recently finding himself back in rescue, he's eager for comfort. At around 13 to 15 years old, he’s lean and still rehabbing but on the mend with special food and medication due to hyperthyroidism and likely IBD. Howard gravitates toward warm laps and patches of sunshine, happy to lounge quietly by your side or doze in the indulgent comfort of a favorite chair. He’s polite with other pets, content to coexist but uninterested in play—his preference is a peaceful home and low drama. Howard maintains his litter habits overall, though there have been a few hiccups while adjusting to his new routine and meds. Expect some food thievery if snacks are left unattended; his appetite reflects his medical needs and his keen sense for a treat. Affection flows easily from him once he settles in, and he quickly bonds with gentle caretakers. He hasn’t been tested directly with children, but nothing in his temperament suggests he wouldn’t adapt. Howard is simply looking for a soft landing and a steady hand for his golden years.
