About Professor

Professor isn’t shy about claiming his spot on your lap or following you from room to room. He’s a big-hearted, affectionate companion who leans in hard for hugs and loves to be snuggled, sometimes flopping himself over your shoulder just to be close. Toys with strings or anything he can chase are top entertainment, and he brings a springy, playful energy to laser pointer games and even magic carpet rides around the house. Mealtime is a highlight—especially if freeze-dried minnows are on the menu. Professor also enjoys being brushed and calmly allows his nails to be trimmed. His striking eyes and sweet, loyal nature stand out, but independence isn’t really his thing; he needs a home where companionship is a priority. He’s a little hesitant with new people and would do best in a quieter environment—homes with toddlers or a lot of hustle aren’t ideal. Professor and his friend Pecan were adopted together and recently returned to La Dee Dogs; now, they’d prefer to stay together. With other cats, he’s less at ease these days, likely preferring just his buddy. If you’re ready to add a loving shadow to your days, Professor might be the perfect fit. Ready to fall in love?
