Meet Agate (pronounced ah-gah-tay). He’s a long-haired, brown tabby with a soft spot for headbutts at dinner and a somewhat shy streak the rest of the day. Agate lost his brother early on, and while he’s adjusted, he tends to be skittish and easily startled, likely from a rocky start in life. He’s become more comfortable with men but handles his foster mom well, gradually gaining confidence around people who move at his pace. Agate thrives with other cats and genuinely enjoys the company of his feline housemates, both fosters and permanent residents. If you have a quieter home and a relaxed energy level, Agate fits right in. He’d do best with someone patient, willing to give him time, and with another friendly cat or two for him to snuggle and socialize with. Agate also likes space to hide or observe—the taller the perch, the better. He’s neutered, vaccinated for FVCRP and Rabies, has tested negative for common feline viruses, and is microchipped for life. If you want a companion with a gentle heart and some quirks, Agate is waiting in Culpeper, VA. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
