Howard, lovingly called Howie, is a robust tuxedo cat with eight years of life experience and plenty of love to share. After a long, loyal stretch with a single owner, he's adjusting to new possibilities and hoping for another devoted person to call his own. Howie isn't shy about conversation – he'll chirp back at anyone who wants to chat, and he’s happiest when near his people, soaking up attention and following you around like a steadfast shadow. He radiates old-soul charm, preferring the comfort of your company and a couch to claim as his own. Howie is used to stability and clearly craves it again. Due to his medical history, he needs a UTI-specific diet; he’ll come with several starter bags of special food to help him settle in. He’s litter box trained and well-mannered indoors. Despite his dignified face, he’s affectionate, gentle, and sensitive. If you want a true companion animal who thrives on closeness and conversation, Howie will meet you halfway with warmth and loyalty. Click apply to start the adoption process.
