About Cannon

Cannon is a sweet, social cat who wears his heart on his sleeve and takes comfort in telling you just what he thinks. He adores the company of other cats and would be happiest with an energetic feline friend who matches his playfulness. Having a buddy helps Cannon feel secure and gives him plenty of chances for the games he loves. If he's the only cat in the house, he’d like someone at home most of the time so he isn’t left alone for long stretches. He forms strong bonds with his people and keeps them close, often stretching out by your side or keeping a watchful eye on your activities. Cannon’s affection is real but comes with boundaries—he enjoys gentle pets when he asks for them and sometimes needs a break when he’s had enough. He never uses his claws during play, but because he can be sensitive to too much handling, he’d prefer a home without children. What Cannon wants most is a patient, understanding person who values his independent streak and makes sure he still has company. He won’t overwhelm you, but if you give him space, he’ll become a one-of-a-kind companion and a true part of your daily life. Fun fact: Cannon is a Capricorn, so he’s loyal, self-assured, and just a bit particular. Start your journey together! Apply now.
