About Bear

Bear stands out among cats—he’s a survivor of a fire, and while his story is written in the scars across his fur, eyes, and eyelids, none of it has dimmed his spirit. His eyes look a little cloudy and smaller than most, with fur that grew back patchy in places, but he takes it all in stride. He can see and explore the world just fine, and he carries himself with a confidence that demands respect. Bear is sweet and loving, happy to share affection despite being a little “crispy” on the edges. Those scars aren’t flaws; they’re the marks of resilience and proof of what he’s overcome. He hopes someone will see past first impressions and appreciate him for the strong, gentle cat he is. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
