About Cupid

Cupid is a one-year-old domestic short-haired cat with a blue mackerel tabby pattern on white. This sweet, funny boy recognizes his name (especially when you call out "Cupie!") and has a particular love for soft toys and springy things—he’ll parade them around or toss them in the air before wrestling with his feline friends. He leans on the company of other cats for confidence and comfort, so he must be adopted into a home with cat-friendly companions; otherwise, he becomes anxious and withdrawn. Petting isn’t always Cupid’s thing, but once you earn his trust—with patience and the help of a tasty treat—he’ll approach, lick your hand, and sometimes settle for gentle strokes if you’re holding him. He isn’t in-your-face but does like to sleep nearby and watch what’s happening, especially outside. If something noisy spooks him, he’ll hide but comes back out with a little reassurance. At night, Cupid turns into a wildly entertaining rascal, racing around and playing with toys—sometimes at your expense if you’re trying to sleep. He does not get along with children and won’t thrive in a loud, busy, or unpredictable home. Cupid needs a quiet, patient, cat-savvy adopter willing to let him come out of his shell in his own time. He must be kept indoors and cannot be declawed. Cupid’s adoption fee is $25 and he is neutered, vaccinated, and ready for the right home. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
