Ace is a large, regal black cat with soulful eyes and a knack for keeping tabs on everything around him. At nearly nine years old, he brings a wise, watchful presence to the shelter. Ace likes to supervise the daily operations, though he keeps some distance because arthritis makes certain touches uncomfortable. He’s wary around people and other cats—especially if he thinks someone might touch a sore spot. To help him feel better, Ace receives monthly Solensia injections and daily Gabapentin to manage both his joint pain and anxiety. These treatments, which run about $225 each month, help Ace stay calm, more at ease, and playful when the mood strikes. Despite his quirks, there’s a gentle spirit under those watchful eyes—Ace just needs a patient person who understands his special needs. Fun fact: Born June 25, Ace is a Cancer, the sign known for being loyal, sensitive, and a bit guarded. Start your journey together! Apply now.
