At about a year old, he's at that perfect age—past kitten mischief but still young enough for plenty of playful curiosity. This cat prefers calm over chaos and needs a patient home where he can adjust at his own speed.

He's shy at first, always taking his time to trust, yet he forms genuine bonds when he feels safe. The payoff is worth it: Mile’s will follow you from room to room and become your quiet, reliable companion, happy just to be close by and soak up attention on his own terms. He's house trained, neutered, and up to date on vaccines. Mile’s gets along well with other cats and would do best with someone who appreciates a mellow, thoughtful friend.
