Cypress is the strong, silent type—handsome in orange, mysterious by nature, and totally devoted… to other cats. At just over 3 years old, this ginger gentleman was trapped as an older kitten and never quite warmed up to the idea of being someone’s snuggle buddy. But if you’re a fellow feline? He’s all in. Playtime? Yes. Hammock naps? Absolutely. Human laps? Let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Cypress isn’t looking for a people-centric life—he’s looking for a quiet, cat-savvy home with a confident resident kitty who can show him the ropes. He’ll need to start off in a crate as he adjusts to a new routine, and while he doesn’t tolerate handling, he does enjoy a good pet or two—especially if food is involved. Over time, he’ll happily share your space and your vibes… just not your couch cushions. If you believe the best relationships are built slowly (and include a second cat and a solid hammock), Cypress might just be your guy. He doesn’t want perfection—just patience, toys, and a feline friend who gets him. Please be sure to read a cat's full bio before applying! We do our best to keep bios updated as we learn more about each cat or as circumstances change. The bio is the best place to find the most current and important information about their needs, personality, and ideal home. Thank you for your interest in adopting from Scruffy Paws Animal Rescue!
