About Tellicherry

Tellicherry was found as a stray and has grown into a steady, reliable cat companion. He doesn’t pine for constant cuddles or a lap but prefers his own space while quietly appreciating the comfort of home life. Tellicherry is likely to bring a peaceful presence, forming gentle bonds in his own time.

Born in May, Tellicherry is a practical Taurus: resilient, calm, and loyal once settled. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
