About Traveler

Traveler’s name fits him well. He started life as a neighborhood cat in a farming area, then vanished for three years. Thanks to his microchip, Traveler turned up at the San Diego Humane Society after a good Samaritan found him, having suffered only a minor injury. He bounced back easily with antibiotics, and when no one came forward, Traveler returned to his old rescue—this time, strictly as an indoor cat. This extra-large cat is gentle and curious, always interested in his surroundings. He lives for company and needs a home where people will engage him. Traveler gets along very well with other cats and would likely be comfortable sharing his space with a cat-friendly dog. He’s healthy, neutered, FeLV/FIV negative, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped. What he really needs now is a place where his personality can shine. Ready to meet this remarkable cat?
