Brooks is a people-loving cat who greets friends with hugs—he’ll gently drape his front paws over your shoulders and press his face to yours, soaking up affection. He’s silly, energetic, and always up for a play session. Brooks has shown he can coexist with a calm dog in his foster home and enjoys venturing around the house, getting along with both the resident dog and cat. That said, Brooks sometimes nips when he’s picked up or feeling constrained, especially in a playful mood. Setting clear boundaries with a firm "NO" will help guide him, and continued structure is important. A home without young children is best for Brooks, since his lively nature and occasional nips aren't a fit for little ones. He’s sweet, affectionate, and enjoys exploring, but watch the doors—he has a strong urge to dash outside and will need a family who can stay vigilant every time one opens. He was found as an outdoor cat and will always carry a bit of that independent streak. Brooks has been thriving indoors, relishing his free run of the house, and he’s ready for a safe, loving home that understands what makes him tick. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
