About Alex

Meet Alex and his best friend BC, two senior cats who've shown real resilience. After losing both their people, these bonded companions stayed together in their lifelong home, cared for by friends and family through a tough transition. Over the past five months, Alex and BC have had lots of attention, including thorough vet visits and dental care, so they're both in good shape. Alex is a big, ten-year-old male with an unmistakably grumpy face that gives him a certain charm. While he can be timid at first, once he feels safe, he wants to be nearby—often choosing to sleep close to your head. When you pick him up, he relaxes into a ragdoll, showing how much he trusts you. BC is the long-haired, black female of the pair, softer and a bit shy at the start, but quick to snuggle and always up for a good butt scratch. These two rely on each other for comfort—BC even sleeps on top of Alex sometimes—so they need to stay together. They're both used to the rhythms of a household and ready for someone to let them settle in and be themselves. Give them steady affection and some time, and they'll reward you with deep loyalty. Because Alex's birthday lands in early April, he's an Aries—known for their boldness and determination. Give them the home they have been waiting for. Apply today.
