All of our cats are current on vaccines, combo tested (FIV/FELV) , spayed/neutered, microchipped, given rabies vaccine as age appropriate, flea treatment and dewormer as needed Rupert is a gentle, sensitive soul with a heart full of love—he just needs a little time to show it. He was adopted in 2022 alongside his bonded companion, Dinah, and the two have remained closely connected ever since. In 2025 and again in 2026, their owner reached out for assistance before ultimately surrendering them in 2026 due to financial and health challenges. When Dinah and Rupert ended up at a shelter, Cat Matchers volunteers quickly stepped in to bring them back to safety. Now relaxing in the adoption room at The Cat Connection, Rupert is slowly adjusting to his new surroundings and showing glimpses of his sweet personality. Unlike his outgoing “sister,” Rupert is more reserved and shy, but underneath that quiet nature is an incredibly loving boy. He enjoys gentle pets and especially loves head scratches and a good rump scratch. Once he feels comfortable, Rupert will even play with toys—catnip toys, fur toys, and wand toys are all favorites. Sometimes, if he notices you watching him play, he’ll pause and give you an adorable look as if to say, “I wasn’t doing anything!”—it’s as charming as it sounds. Rupert loves spending time on his cat tree, where he can relax and watch the world go by. Birds, squirrels, and any outdoor activity provide endless entertainment for this thoughtful big boy. He may take a little longer to warm up than Dinah, but Rupert is incredibly sweet, tolerant, and worth every bit of patience. He feels most secure with Dinah nearby, and they are looking for a forever home where they can stay together. If you’re looking for a quiet, gentle companion (and a perfect match for Dinah), Rupert might just be your guy. Together, they make a beautiful pair ready to start their next chapter in a loving home. DOB: 8/13/2020 - System ID: T-AS301-21**Want to adopt?
