Ryder is a distinguished older gentleman who carries himself with grace despite some occasional aches and pains, possibly from a bit of arthritis. He moves at his own pace, and that adds to his dignified charm. This cat appreciates a cozy spot to curl up, and a little extra care goes a long way. Don't let his independent streak fool you; Ryder is fiercely loyal. He’ll follow his favorite person around the house, ready for pets, scratches, and the occasional unsolicited hug. Just a heads up: his affection comes with a generous cloud of black fur. Having experienced a variety of situations before joining us, Ryder may take some time to settle into new environments and warm up to other pets. However, with patient introductions, he can enjoy their company. He accepts a harness without complaint, purring happily, especially while resting in a sunny spot. Ryder seeks a calm household with a loving human who appreciates his gentle nature. And maybe a lint roller or two, just in case! Click apply to start the adoption process.
