About Gideon
Gideon is a sight to behold: a black-coated, 8-year-old mix of Domestic Long Hair and Persian, mysterious and memorable. He shows up like something out of folklore—part regal, part quirky, all attitude—with FIV, one wandering eye, some missing toes, scars from a life hard-lived, and a hind-end wobble that gives his gait a haunted marionette charm. Litter box habits? Adventurous at best, but there’s a certain grace in his unpredictability. You’ll find him napping on your office chair, or kneading invisible dough with impressive determination, his silent judgment ever-present. Gideon’s personality is big: affectionate, odd, and funny. He seeks out connection—meowing for pets, pressing in for scritches, finding comfort in being near his person. Gideon’s far from a "normal" cat and can’t be boxed in; he shines as an office gremlin with a loving heart and some notable quirks. He needs an indoor-only, special adopter willing to see his worth and accept the quirks. He’s been through a lot, but his capacity for love is undiminished. Click apply to start the adoption process.
