Carbon has spent nearly five years at the shelter, quietly making a reputation as the cat cats want to be around. He’s a large, striking boy who’s happiest among his feline friends, especially in the shelter’s free-roaming cat room. Though Carbon tends to keep his distance from people, he quickly warms up to other cats and would slot in nicely as a companion for a lonely resident cat. If your home feels like it’s missing the right furry sidekick for your current cat, he’s a perfect fit. In nearly every photo, you’ll spot Carbon’s buddy Anise nearby—that’s just how much other cats like his company. Give a longtime shelter resident a break; Carbon’s ready to swap shelter life for a quieter home with space to be himself. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
