About Zinc

Zinc is a laid-back, eight-year-old cat with a soft spot for people, shaped by his early rescue in Arnold, MO. He was scooped up young with his siblings as part of a TNR project when he couldn’t quite fend for himself. Since then, Zinc has figured out humans can be pretty great. He wants your attention and enjoys being around people. He did find a home once, but it didn’t stick—and now he’s hoping his next family is ready to keep him for the long haul. Zinc isn’t crazy about all female cats but is slowly learning to be less picky. At almost seven and a half (a classic Aries—independent, maybe a bit stubborn), he is house trained, neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated. Good with kids and eager for chin scratches, Zinc is ready to meet someone who wants to give him a permanent spot to nap. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
