About Tom Cat aka Apollo

Meet Tom Cat, also known as Apollo. Once a feral in Leominster, MA, he's now a sweet-natured, playful companion who loves Churu treats and lounging in cozy spots. After spending time outside, he's happily adjusted to indoor life, enjoying pets and playtime with his current foster feline friend. With a knack for playfulness, Apollo thrives on chasing toys like lasers and feathers. He might be a happy aggressor during play, so he needs a feline friend who can match his energy and engage in rough play. Although he's become a people kitty who craves attention, he can get overstimulated and appreciates a gentle approach to affection. Despite his once-gruff exterior, Apollo's ear tilt adds character to his endearing personality. He might prefer quieter homes, as loud noises and kids can be overwhelming. What he truly wants is a home filled with love, playtime, and, of course, plenty of Churu treats. Fitchburg Friends of Felines provides a foster-to-adopt program to ensure a smooth transition into his forever home. If you're looking for a playful, affectionate cat who appreciates companionship, Apollo is waiting for you. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
