Sweetie Meringue spent much of his life cherished by an elderly woman, soaking up affection and enjoying calm moments side by side. Their favorite ritual was quiet time with the brush—he leaned into every stroke, loving every second. Now, nearly 10 years old, he’s lost his person and is searching for a new heart to bond with in his golden years. This social cat still values downtime and likes his peace, but he comes alive around people who respect his big personality and opinions. He’s talkative, “chatting” back and forth with his humans, and he can almost always be found in a patch of sun, his long, orange-and-white coat soaking in the warmth. Meringue is neutered, current on vaccines, FeLV/FIV negative, microchipped, and a healthy weight with no ongoing medications. He’ll thrive in a calm, loving household, ideally with an experienced cat person ready to host his expressive spirit. Adopters should be in or near Santa Fe, Albuquerque, Rio Rancho, Los Alamos, or White Rock, New Mexico, as his rescue arranges personal home deliveries and enjoys staying connected.
