About Archie
Archie is a senior Domestic Short Hair male, rescued after his owner passed away, leaving him on his own for a month. When Archie first arrived in foster care, he was traumatized, extremely overweight, and his coat was badly matted. He’s put in the work, slimmed down, but he’s just always going to be a big boy at around 17 lbs, and he requires a special kidney diet to stay healthy. Archie is an involved and sociable cat, quick to chat, curious, and always keen to follow his people around the house. He’s happiest lounging with a good patch of catnip in a sunbeam, keeping an eye on the world from the safety of a windowsill. While he thrives on attention, Archie’s also clear about his boundaries and becomes territorial if his environment turns chaotic. He can get overstimulated and protective, so he needs a calm, quiet home—no children, no other cats, and no dogs. Only experienced cat owners with a gentle, patient approach will truly see him flourish. After all he’s endured, Archie deserves a stable, understanding place to relax and finally feel safe.
