About Julius

Julius is a striking, large orange Maine Coon mix with a thick long coat and that signature gentle vibe so many people adore. Rather than curling right up on your lap, he just wants to be close by and share the day—never underfoot, more like an easy presence that keeps you company. Julius responds well to gentle, calm words, and he’s always up for a back or neck rub. He likes a little affection at a time, and while he prefers setting the pace, that just adds to the bond you’ll build with him. He gets along well enough with other cats but always wants to call the shots. Julius does best in a stable, quieter home, probably with just one or two people, where he can count on each day being much like the last. He loves hanging out by a window on a sunny perch, watching whatever’s going on outside. At about four years old, Julius still has plenty of years and heart to give. He sometimes holds up a paw—after exams and a clean bill of health from the vet, it appears to be harmless fatty tissue, and he manages just fine. Julius just needs someone willing to give a little extra attention, reassurance, and a warm spot to call his own. Sun in Capricorn, Julius is as steady and quietly loyal as they come.
