About Felix

Your new best friend is just one click away. Felix is a charming former feral who has blossomed in the care of caring humans. While he adores affection and is happy to curl up for love, Felix also treasures his independence and enjoys spending quiet time on his own. He has many feline pals at the rescue, so he would thrive in a home with another cat friend for company. Felix must be adopted as an indoor-only cat, as his feral roots make him prone to darting out if doors are left open—it's best to have him closed in a room while people come and go. Providing Felix with a stable, loving environment helps not just him, but also other cats who benefit from his adoption fee. Make their next chapter their best one yet.
