Tootie is a young, neutered male Domestic Short Hair living in Denver, CO, who embodies a mix of curiosity and shyness. He has a soft tabby coat with buff and silver tones, and he’s still learning the joys of human companionship. Tootie is not ready to be picked up but happily accepts gentle affection and petting, especially from people who approach slowly. His favorite time is evening when he becomes playful—strings, balls, and tunnels are guaranteed to get his attention. During the day, he prefers to nap and observe the world around him from a quiet spot. He’ll thrive most with a patient, cat-savvy adopter and would do well in a calm home, especially one with another friendly cat or two to show him the ropes. Kids are fine as long as they’re older and understand that sudden noises or quick movements can startle him. Tootie is house trained and up to date on vaccinations, so he’s ready to settle in. Meeting him in person at the Teddy Cat Cafe is the best way for Tootie to show his gentle, playful spirit at his own pace. They are ready to love you; are you ready to apply?
