About Filbert

Looking for a cat with personality? Filbert's antics are hard to miss. He'll yell at you for attention, swipe from his favorite perches, and weave around your legs, demanding your focus. He made such a terror of himself to his last feline housemate that he earned a solo ticket back to The Purr-sery, where now, no cat is safe from his mischievous games. Filbert thrives in a home with dogs but no other cats. He prefers rough-and-tumble play—tackling, wrestling, and biting are his style. Most cats can't handle his playfulness, but a steady dog or two could be right up his alley. Underneath the bravado, Filbert is a sweet, sensitive guy who just needs a little help figuring out how to express himself. Fun fact: Filbert is a Gemini, so you'll get twice the personality in one small package. Ready to meet a real character? Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
