About Buddy

Buddy faced a tough start, having lived in an RV park in New Braunfels. After being hurt, he was taken to a vet, where he made a full recovery and turned out to be a model patient. He has adjusted well to a home environment, enjoying a comfortable life while still needing some outdoor time. Although he doesn’t roam and prefers to stay close, Buddy needs a secure outdoor space to explore. He's learned to bond closely with his person, becoming a loyal companion. While initially wary of dogs due to previous experiences, he’s making progress in tolerating his doggie roommates. Clear boundaries from his humans help him adjust better. Buddy gets along well with other cats, especially in a home where there’s a firm but kind cat to help guide him. He has shown that he was likely once a pet, as he interacts well with people and accepts corrections. Given his size and personality, older children who understand animal body language would be ideal. If you think you can provide the caring home Buddy deserves, reach out to start the adoption process.
