Luca is a small, flame point/orange Siamese and Domestic Short Hair mix currently in Springfield, MO.

About Luca

Luca is a survivor with real grit. After a tough diaphragmatic hernia surgery, he’s bounced back and is ready for a cozy indoor life—no more close calls outside. His favorite companion at Watching Over Whiskers, Picasso, brings out his playful side, and the two are nearly inseparable. Their bond would be best kept together, so consider making room for both if you can. Luca is fully vetted for his age and comes with a lifetime microchip. He’s lived with other cats and truly thrives on feline friendship. A calm home, where he can recover and enjoy long days with Picasso, would be ideal for Luca. Luca was born on March 6th, making him a Pisces—the sign known for empathy and gentleness. Ready to open your home to this pair? Give them the safe, loving indoors they need.
