About Meatball
Meatball has a knack for making people feel like theyāve always known him. Heās no feralāhis gentle nature and clear comfort indoors gave that away the moment he showed up. After some tough luck being left behind, heās proven he thrives in a routine where he can come and go: outside to dart and hunt, back inside for evenings of rest. He never stays out overnight and always ends the day sleeping indoors. Heās a clever, affectionate cat who likes to keep busy but will drop everything to relax with his person, often in his favorite cardboard chair. Bird videos hold his attention almost as much as a good head rub. New places or transitions can make him edgy, and when unsettled, he might lash outābecause of this, he needs an adopter who understands cats well and has patience to help him settle and feel secure. Meatball needs to be the only cat in a household; he doesnāt get along with other cats, and his unpredictability with them is well-noted. While he hasnāt lived with dogs, thereās no obvious fear in the little bit heās observed. Smart and energetic, he loves following his people around, keeping up during outdoor walks, and always checking in when they return. He deserves an environment shaped around his drive, intelligence, and deep affection for his humans. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
