Pawpaw is a 10-year-old gray tabby with a quiet, gentle vibe and a real fondness for calm indoor living. After years surviving outdoors as the senior cat among a colony, Pawpaw eased into home life thanks to a kind caretaker who noticed his trouble eating and got him needed dental surgery. Now, with just his canine teeth left, he enjoys his wet food and has embraced the comforts of soft blankets, sunny windowsills, and peaceful afternoons. This mellow guy is independent but loves following his humans quietly around the house, and he’ll politely remind you at mealtime with a soft meow. With new people, Pawpaw needs a little time to warm up, but once he trusts you, he’s happy to be picked up and melted by a good belly rub. On his more mischievous days, you’ll find him scaling high spots for a bird’s-eye view of his kingdom. Pawpaw will thrive as an only cat in a quiet, predictable home with adults or respectful kids. He’s spent his life surviving—he deserves plenty of attention, a stress-free routine, and a soft spot to call his own. Think you are the one? Submit an application!
