About Michael
Meet Michael, a striking 9-year-old orange tabby who’s come a long way from surviving on the streets in Long Beach, NY. He’s deeply affectionate, always looking to rub up against your leg or curl up beside you for company. Michael’s routine in his foster home involved sharing the bed at night and basking in sunbeams during the day, losing track of hours just lounging by the window. He enjoys a good chin rub and loves to be brushed—just not so much on the top of his head. He’s playful in short spurts, chasing a toy before drifting off for another catnap. Michael needs an adult-only home and is best as a solo cat, though he might tolerate a calm, easygoing feline friend. His ideal adopter will have experience with cats and respect his preferences. Michael is FIV positive, but this doesn’t change his affectionate nature or his ability to live a healthy life. He’s neutered and up to date on vaccinations. If you’re seeking a devoted, attention-loving cat with a big personality and love to give, Michael is ready for his next chapter. Your new best friend is just one click away.
