About Button

Button knows how to balance snuggles and playful antics perfectly. This 9-year-old gray tuxedo cat has an endearing way of reminding you that life can be both cozy and chaotic. In cuddle mode, he transforms into a loving companion, content to be right by your side while you pet him, creating a relaxed atmosphere that’s hard to resist. Then there’s Play Mode. With a flick of enthusiasm, Button turns into a fierce little predator, ready to pounce on his toys with all the energy you’d expect from a younger cat. His playful nature does sometimes lead him to confuse hands for toys, but he’s learning quickly with his foster family’s guidance. Button is FIV-positive, which might sound daunting, but it’s just part of who he is. Cats like him can enjoy long, fulfilling lives with the right care and a loving family. If you’re hoping to adopt a feline friend who can offer cuddles one moment and entertainment the next, Button could be the perfect match for you. Start your journey together! Apply now.
