About Dave

Dave is a sleek black Domestic Shorthair, around three and a half years old, with an easy-to-spot personality. Raised in foster since kittenhood, Dave is best friends with Lil and depends on feline companionship—he’d truly prefer a home where Lil comes too or where his need for connection is understood. Dave is quick-footed and sometimes skittish, but he’s friendly by nature, not shy about approaching people for affection, and loves a good shoulder scratch. A somersault enthusiast, he shines during playtime and uses his litter box reliably. Dave is neutered, current on all vaccinations, microchipped, and has received preventive care. He is healthy, playful, and affectionate in equal measure, with no special medical needs. If you bring Dave home, you’ll get his medical records and lots of support for a smooth transition, including help with parasite checks and microchip registration. For his comfort, start Dave in a quiet room with his litter box and introduce him gradually to new spaces and other pets—he enjoys other cats, but not dogs. Dave thrives in patient homes that respect his routine, offer slow introductions, and understand the quirks that come with rescue cats. You gain a friend who loves both cuddle sessions and play.
