About Sandy Hyattsville

Sandy Hyattsville is a mellow cat with an easy-going attitude and a gentle presence. He starts out shy, but once he opens up, he’s quick to seek affection and enjoys being close to people. Sandy gets along easily with both adults and children, effortlessly handling pets and attention from little ones while staying calm. He can be playful when the mood hits, especially if you give him a string or fishing pole toy—he’ll happily bat those around on his own for a good stretch of time. Sandy was born in late September, making him a charming Libra (the scales—no wonder he’s so balanced and easy to get along with). He is neutered, fully vaccinated, microchipped, and tested negative for FiV/FeLV, so his basics are all covered. Sandy is on a prescription diet to help prevent urinary blockages, which is important to keep him healthy for years to come. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
