About Fuji

Fuji looks fresh out of a fairy tale, with a mostly snowy white coat edged in light brown, little nose speckles, and freckled paws—he seriously gives off baby deer vibes. Young and full of energy, he’s always chasing or wrestling a feline buddy, never content to sit still when there’s fun to be had. Fuji craves playful companionship and won’t tire of zoomies with a cat friend who can keep pace; quieter cats might find him a bit much. Despite having a heart condition called systolic anterior motion (SAM), Fuji refuses to let it dull his enthusiasm. He takes his medication like a champ and sees his cardiologist every six months. He’ll need a family willing to stay on top of his care and break up play sessions if he overdoes it, but he pays back tenfold in affection, purrs, and endless goofiness. This lovable, vocal guy is house trained, neutered, vaccinated, and comes with everything he needs—including a sponsored adoption fee. Fuji is in St. Louis, MO, and is ready for a home that appreciates his unique combination of sweetness and unstoppable spirit. Your new best friend is just one click away.
