Patches is the kind of cat who knows how to keep things mellow. He happily spends hours stretched out on his favorite perch in front of the window, quietly watching squirrels and birds go about their business. He’s independent by nature and much prefers staying on the ground—being picked up isn’t his idea of a good time. Still, he’s affectionate on his own terms, and will stroll over for head rubs when he’s in the mood. He enjoys being brushed, but is polite about telling you when he’s had enough. Patches went through a tough spell after being abandoned in a house for months with his companion Lightening, but he’s settled in well with his foster. He’s proof that cats know how to survive and still seek kindness when it’s offered. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
