If I was a dog, I’d be a Golden Retriever! Loyal, friendly, and always ready to soak up love — that’s me in a nutshell. I’m Rakkaus — born around 7/5/25 — and I’m basically a professional sweetheart. At only about eight months old, I’m still a teenager, which means I’ve got a little playful spark… but I’m definitely more of a lovey-dovey guy than a wild child. I’m fairly small for a boy and might grow just a tiny bit more, but I think I’m already the perfect size for cuddling. Life didn’t always feel so cozy for me. I was likely a dumped stray, but you’d never know it from my sunny personality. I absolutely love people..... and all attention. I’ll gladly lay around and soak it up for as long as you’re willing to give it. Hold me, cuddle me, carry me around — I’m happy to be wherever you are. I’d do especially great with kids who want a hands-on cat, because I’m patient, gentle, and so tolerant. I even let everyone dress me up for my photos without a single complaint. I get along wonderfully with dogs, other cats, and kids. If you’re looking for a chill, sweet, affectionate companion who will happily melt into your arms and make every day feel a little warmer, I’m your guy. I’ve got so much love to give — I just need someone to give it to. My adoption fee is $75. This fee includes my vaccinations, FIV/FELV testing, de-wormer, spay/neuter, microchip, and flea preventative.
