About Duke

Duke is a big, handsome Russian Blue with striking golden eyes and a plush, silvery coat. After losing his home due to tough circumstances, he and his brother Baron landed safely with Carson Cats. They’re a bonded pair—double the company and comfort—and must be adopted together. Duke can be reserved when first meeting new people, but patience and a few treats go a long way in earning his trust. Once he feels at home, Duke’s sweet, gentle side shines through. He loves treats, Churus, and quiet companionship. At six, he’s mellow and well-mannered, with plenty of affection left to give, but he’s outgrown any wild kitten antics. Both Duke and Baron would thrive in a calm home that appreciates loyal, loving cats. Ready to add a pair of real gentlemen to your family? Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
