About Heckle

Heckle is a striking black Domestic Short Hair with a stocky, large frame who’s reached adulthood but still has plenty of spark. He’s about four and a half years old, so he’s past the rowdiest kitten phases and tends to approach new people and situations with a mellow confidence. Heckle’s up to date on his vaccinations and has already been neutered, so he’s ready to settle right into a new home. He’s well-suited for someone seeking a grown, steady companion who comes with an air of experience and not much fuss. Fun fact: Heckle was born on October 27, which makes him a Scorpio—independent and a little mysterious, just like his coat. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
