About Captain Morgan

Captain Morgan came in from the streets and sports an unusual feature—he’s polydactyl, so he’s got thumbs. He’s a very friendly cat with people, but he can get a little feisty if he’s petted where he doesn’t care for it. Other cats aren’t really his thing; he’d much prefer to be the only cat in the house so he can soak up all the attention. He spends a lot of his time hanging out in a crinkly tunnel, quietly observing and sometimes stalking the other cats, clearly happiest with his own territory. Captain Morgan really needs someone who’s had cats before and doesn’t mind his quirks. For the right person or family, he’ll be an entertaining and devoted companion. Captain Morgan is FIV/FeLV negative, neutered, vaccinated, and house trained. He’s available for visits during public hours on weekends (12-2pm). Your new best friend is just one click away.
