About Papaya

Papaya is all heart. He’ll follow you from room to room, eager to be in the middle of whatever you’re doing, always ready for a cuddle or a good play session. He thrives in feline company and needs a home with another cat—he’s never done life alone and shouldn’t have to start now. He fits right in with other playful kitties, and after a slow introduction, does fine with dogs too. Loud noises and a chaotic environment make Papaya nervous, so homes with small children likely aren’t the best fit. Papaya’s first family wasn’t able to keep him, and he’s been waiting ever since for a safe, loving place to truly call home. He’s ready—just needs that final piece.
