About Yoshi

Yoshi is a lively, charming cat who thrives on play—the more toys involved, the better. Quick movements still spook him now and then, but he’s come a long way with people, thanks to patience and the irresistible draw of wand and red dot toys. Originally caught during TNR efforts, Yoshi was just too sweet to return to the streets, especially after being neutered and vaccinated. Adapting to indoor comfort took him some time, but he’s settled in, grateful for every meal and gentle with his litter box etiquette. He’s learning that meals are regular, so he sometimes overeats if given the chance, which explains his endearing chunkiness. This boy doesn't do well with female cats—he plays a bit too rough for their liking—but he gets along with other kitties and never resorts to aggression. Yoshi needs someone patient, preferably in a calm, quiet home where routine comes naturally. He’s tidy, has never hissed or growled at a person or another cat, and just wants to feel safe and loved. Let him warm up on his terms, and you'll have a loyal, low-maintenance companion who’s more appreciative with every week that passes. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
