About Cookie

Make their next chapter their best one yet. Cookie is a striking two-year-old medium-haired black and white tuxedo cat with charming white markings on his face, neck, chest, belly, and feet, plus a black 'zorro mask' and plume-like tail. Previously, he lived comfortably with two dogs before allergies in the home forced a change, and he’s now being cared for by a gentle foster until a permanent family is found. Cookie is well-adjusted to life with dogs but hasn’t spent much time around other cats. With a bold, energetic, and alpha personality that’s reminiscent of a dog, Cookie enthusiastically greets you at the door and seeks out interactions, but on his own terms. He’s curious and playful—loves feather toys (with supervision, as he’ll try to nibble on them!), enjoys bird and squirrel videos, and relishes games that let him show off his spirited style. Cookie adores chin and head rubs but is not a fan of tummy or leg rubs, and he’ll let you know when he’s had enough by giving a gentle nip. He’s also very food motivated and adores treats like Greenies and Churu snacks. Currently, Cookie is taking Fluoxetine to help curb his chewing and feather-eating tendencies, and benefits from a sensitive tummy diet such as Royal Canin Digestive Care. He prefers chewable toys and should continue his special diet. Cookie’s unique personality makes him a delightful, funny, and loving companion for someone who appreciates his individuality and energy. Give them the home they have been waiting for. Apply today.
