About Sonny

Sonny is a character, and if you've ever missed the edgy unpredictability of a teenager in your home, this orange tabby might just fill that spot. His backstory isn't entirely clear, but what is known is heartbreaking—Sonny came to his rescue with two BBs lodged in his nasal cavity, pointing to abuse in his past. Surgery took care of the physical injuries, but some mental scars remain. He can have his 'flashbacks,' hissing to let you know he's not quite ready for affection, and there are days when he won’t even emerge till after noon. Still, when Sonny decides to let you in, his affection feels transformative. His purr is unique; surgery altered it into a louder rattle, but there's a sweetness to the sound. Sonny is about 5 years old, vaccinated, and FIV+, but that hasn’t been a concern—he’s shared space with a dozen non-FIV cats and hasn’t caused trouble. He tends to keep to himself, not really making friends, but he also isn't aggressive. If there are kittens around, Sonny softens, earning the nickname 'Uncle Sonny.' He prefers his personal space, but there's warmth and surprise when he opens up. Want a challenge and a deeply rewarding bond? Sonny could be your guy. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
