About Eisen

Eisen is calm and steady, happiest when there's a gentle hand nearby. He enjoys company and lets you know with his purr or by resting his head in your palm. If he feels you aren't paying enough attention, he'll gently touch your arm or face, never demanding, just reminding you he's close. He's easygoing with mealtime—he loves wet foods like Friskies and Fancy Feast pâté, but will nibble on dry food despite only having a few teeth left. His recent dental means he's more comfortable now. Eisen gets along with other cats, though it's unknown how he feels about dogs. Because he's FIV positive, he needs to be indoors only. If you're looking for a quiet companion, Eisen might be the one to win you over. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
