About Romeo Aka Sassafras
Romeo Aka Sassafras is equal parts lover and fighterājust ask any stuffed animal lying around. Picked up after roaming the Pepperell neighborhood, Romeo was one of six cats no one claimed. Now living with a foster, heās working on tolerance for her dog, but he and the dog have come to a truce: minimal interaction, plenty of personal space. Since being neutered, Romeoās lost a bit of his former grumpiness, but heās still an independent guy, very much a loner at heart. Petting is allowedābut only in strict moderation. He prefers rubbing against your legs or trailing you from room to room over cuddling or sitting on laps. Romeoās self-assured, full of silky black fur, and he knows just how good he looks. He isnāt mean, just particularāhe likes affection on his own terms. Heāll stay nearby, occasionally allow a kiss, but donāt expect him to linger for more. He follows his people around, even into the bathroom, always just out of reach. Romeo greets his foster at the door, sings for his supper with the sort of meow thatāll make you smile, and shows no fear around strangers. He does, however, tend to bite or nibble when overstimulated, so he needs an adopter savvy about feline body languageāa true cat person. Romeo is not a lap cat, not a pick-me-up cat, and not a fan of sharing attention with other pets or children. He wants a home where heās the only animal and companionāa person who appreciates a loyal buddy without mushy little rituals. At Fitchburg Friends of Felines, heās part of their foster-to-adopt program, giving adopters time and support to make sure everyone clicks. Click apply to start the adoption process.
