About Xander

Xander is a charming, talkative 10-month-old male brown tabby and white tuxedo cat weighing about 9 pounds. With his golden amber eyes and playful demeanor, he’s looking for a loving home. This sweet young feline was rescued from a feral colony. Initially a little shy, he now adores snuggling, particularly in bed, and revels in human affection, often purring and drooling when he gets love. He uses his litter box consistently and enjoys playing with toys, showcasing his well-behaved nature. Xander is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and recently treated for fleas. His ear-tipping indicates his past as a feral cat, but he’s come a long way from that life. If you're interested in meeting this affectionate and handsome kitty, please submit an adoption application through the Friends of Petraits Rescue. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
