Vlad is a retired tomcat who came to the shelter after a long life on his own and quickly took on the job of grandpa to the shelter's kittens. It wasn't easy at first, but with time, Vlad figured out what he enjoys and now shows himself as one of the most gentle, soft-spoken cats you'll meet. He craves gentle affection and praise, responding quietly and with gratitude to even small moments of kindness. His needs are simple: a peaceful home and a person willing to give him the love he missed out on for much of his life. Vlad gets along with other cats and is also good with children, making him a solid pick for a mellow household that values a loyal, undemanding companion. As a June 6th birthday cat, Vlad is a Gemini, so don't be surprised if he surprises you once in a while with a new side. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
