Please read through the entire posting and requirements before applying via our questionnaire at https://alleycatproject.org/adopt Please do not submit an inquiry via Petfinder. Meet Furlough, a sweet black-and-white tuxedo tom who is ready to end his temporary leave and get to work as your furry companion! While his exact age is unknown, he’s estimated to be about 1 year old (as of February 2026). Most cats are motivated by toys or treats, but the way to Furlough’s heart is not through Churus or catnip—more than anything, he just wants a scritch on the cheek! He may be shy and skittish at first (he actually got his name because he was so “shut down” when he was brought to ACP, just a completely immovable, frightened little lump), but with a little patience and a lot of love, he starts to show his affectionate side, and Furlough transforms into snuggle-boy Purrlough. Still just a baby with lots of energy, Furlough loves to bat around crinkly toys, run through tunnels, and (gently) play fight with his humans. If you’re looking for a cat that’s both goofy and sweet, Furlough might be your guy! What Furlough’s looking for in a home: - He’s new to indoor life with humans, so he needs a kind and patient guide to help him continue adjusting. Loud noises, fast movements, and strangers make him nervous. - He has lots of energy and will benefit from plenty of active play time. - He feels at ease in a quiet and calm environment. - He needs to live indoors only. - He has no known history with other cats. - He has no known history with dogs. - He has no known history with children. All Alley Cat Project’s cats are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated prior to adoption. Alley Cat Project adoption fees are: - $200 per cat or kitten - $350 for pair of cats or kittens - $50 for senior cat (over 8 years old) - Flexible reduced fees for a cat with a chronic medical condition that requires ongoing care - Additional charitable donations are appreciated and support our overall rescue efforts Thank you for your interest in adopting Furlough! If your household fits the above criteria, you can apply to adopt him by filling out this questionnaire: https://alleycatproject.org/adopt Only applicants who complete the questionnaire will be considered. Please do not submit an inquiry through Petfinder, as it will not replace the questionnaire and we will not respond. Many of our cats receive numerous applications, and we thank you for your patience while we review applications and find the best match. Please do not follow up on your application by phone or email as this will not expedite a response. As a 100% volunteer-run organization, we appreciate your understanding.
