Ninja spent months seeking food and affection in a Rochester backyard, winning hearts with his gentle persistence. Once finally given a safe place indoors, he revealed himself to be deeply affectionate—he’s a lap cat, a purr machine, and a cuddler who craves human connection. After being neutered, vaccinated, and settling in, Ninja’s energy mellowed into calm attentiveness. His needs are straightforward but firm: a peaceful indoor home, no other pets except his closest companion Pumpkin, and steady human attention from folks experienced with cautious cats. Ninja doesn't handle surprises or chaos well, so children aren’t a match. He and Pumpkin are tightly bonded, relying on each other for comfort and security, so they need to go home together. If you want to adopt a special, loving cat who will show his trust and affection slowly but deeply, Ninja and Pumpkin might be the pair you’ve been looking for.
