About Zack

Zack and his sister Roxy are a deeply bonded pair, both born in June 2021 and looking for a home together. Zack is white and grey, shy at first but turns into a total attention-seeker when he trusts you. He’s all about belly rubs, butt pats, and lounging on rugs while you fuss over him. Zack likes to remind you when it’s breakfast time and will guide you to his favorite spot for long petting sessions. He’s a bit picky with food (chicken wins over seafood every time) but always finds a way to join you for company, even in the bathroom. He loves cardboard, boxes, laundry baskets, and all sorts of toys—spring kickers are a favorite. At night, Zack may sleep with you or switch to his own space if you toss and turn. Roxy is a smaller, grey extrovert and your instant shadow. She’s the chattier one, loves belly rubs, and gets the zoomies, especially when there’s a bed involved. Roxy enjoys “hunting” treats tossed to her, basking in sunspots, cuddling, and playing fetch with hair ties. She will curl up next to you at night and is happy to follow your lead. Both cats adore each other, swapping sleeping spots using affection, and sharing meals (though they’re learning not to). They thrive on attention, playtime in cat tunnels and towers, and relaxing in sunbeams or heated blankets. These two are indoor-only, calm, affectionate, and good with monthly baths as long as you’re gentle and patient. They’re fully vaccinated, neutered, and microchipped. They’ve never been aggressive with people or vet staff, although they will hide from newcomers at first. Zack and Roxy will bring warmth, playfulness, and companionship to the right home.
