Meet Gumbo - a big hunk of love with an even bigger heart! He may be a little shy and timid at first, but once he feels comfortable, he's all in. Gumbo absolutely loves pets and cuddles and is more than happy to curl up and make himself at home as a cozy lap cat. Gumbo also enjoys the company of other cats - so much so that he doesn't always understand the concept of personal space, so slow introductions are recommended when meeting new feline friends. He has a nice playful energy without being overwhelming, and he's great at entertaining himself with toys. That said, he'll never turn down a fun game with a laser pointer or cat wand! ---- Want to adopt a kitten? We highly recommend you consider bringing home two instead of one! Adopting kittens in pairs has been proven to be beneficial for cats' emotional and behavioral well-being and greatly improves the likelihood of long-term adopter happiness as a result. Adopting more than one kitten also reduces the risk of "Single Kitten Syndrome" (also known as Tarzan Syndrome), a symptom of under-socialization during a kitten's most formative weeks. Kittens who are under-socialized may develop aggressive tendencies toward both other animals and humans as they grow, creating lifelong behavioral issues for owners.
