Arnold showed up on the busy streets of South Austin and made himself known as a professional love bug. The trickiest part about Arnold isn’t his special needs—it’s getting a photo where he’s not nuzzling into the frame for attention. Try to capture his picture and he’ll be in your lap, trilling and purring like a little engine. He doesn’t meow much, but his happy chirps and rumbling purr are impossible to forget. Arnold takes life at a slow, mellow pace. He’s been easygoing about other cats, but people are his real joy. He hasn’t lived with kids or dogs, so those are unknowns. Arnold does need a home that’s prepared for his respiratory health: he has Laryngeal Paralysis and Asthma, so he uses an inhaler to breathe easier, and he’ll need help staying at a healthy weight to support his breathing. He’d fit best with someone who values calm companionship and doesn’t mind keeping his health routine on track. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
