I’m the cat’s pajamas. Franklin here—an orange tabby born March 1, 2025, in a quiet rural town in Missouri. I may be a little shy at first, but once I feel safe, my sweet side really shines. I’m the kind of guy who prefers gentle voices, slow blinks, and cozy spots where I can observe the world before fully joining in. I was born with one back leg that didn’t develop quite the same as the others. The good news is that it doesn’t hurt, doesn’t slow me down much, and doesn’t require any medical treatment at all. I get around just fine and take life in stride—literally. It’s simply part of what makes me me. I do great with other cats and would be happy to have a feline friend around, especially one who understands that I like to warm up at my own pace. Once I do, I’m a total sweetheart who appreciates affection and calm companionship. If you’re looking for a gentle soul with a soft heart, a unique little swagger, and classic orange tabby charm, I might just be the perfect fit. My adoption fee is $75. This fee includes my vaccinations, FIV/FELV testing, de-wormer, spay/neuter, microchip, and flea preventative.
