About Patches

Patches is an incredibly friendly cat, likely between 5 and 8 years old, who brings joy to everyone he meets. He thrives on human companionship, whether it's kids or adults, and enjoys following his favorite people around or curling up next to them. Patches is comfortable around other cats with a gradual introduction and prefers calm, disinterested dogs. After being found as a stray in southern Illinois, he faced some health challenges — including severe dental issues leading to stomatitis, resulting in the removal of all his teeth. Despite this, he's fully recovered and has adapted well to eating mostly wet food, though he can manage dry. You'll also notice some old scars around his eyes, but they don’t seem to trouble him at all. Now neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped, he is looking for a cozy home where he can cuddle and receive affection. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
