Decibel
AvailableDecibel is a 3-year and 9-month-old neutered male domestic short hair in Youngsville, NC. He is house trained, up to date on vaccinations, and requires a monthly treatment to manage his skin. Decibel is FELV positive and needs a home with another FELV positive cat or to be an only kitty.
About Decibel
Decibel came to the rescue in rough shape—he was underweight and suffered skin problems from trying to survive outside on his own. Since then, he’s bounced back, putting on healthy weight and learning to relax indoors. Decibel is a big guy now, but he isn’t always confident standing up to dominant cats. He gets a monthly dose of revolution to keep his skin healthy. He’ll let you pet him, but he’s sensitive in certain spots and will nip to signal when he’s uncomfortable. Decibel loves making biscuits—though he doesn’t retract his claws, making him best suited for homes without young kids or first-time cat owners. He gets along well with everyone, including the senior dog in his foster home. He enjoys playing with just about anything, often entertaining himself, and happily keeps his human company on the couch or bed. Decibel is especially close with his young foster buddy, Cheesy Puff: they play, wrestle, and nap together all day. Because he is FELV positive, Decibel can only live with other FELV positive cats, but he could also thrive as an only cat. He’d be happiest in a home with another friendly FELV kitty who likes playtime. Ready to meet Decibel? Give him the safe, loving home he deserves. Click apply to start the adoption process.
