About Meatball

Meatball is a resilient cat who had a tough time living outdoors, often finding himself bullied by other animals and struggling to secure food. At just three years old, he showed up with several wounds and needed extensive medical care, including a full dental extraction. Fortunately, his luck changed when he was rescued. Now, he’s learning to thrive indoors. Meatball enjoys hanging out with the resident cats and human family, although he sometimes seeks refuge under the bed when strangers are around. Food is his motivator; he'll happily accept treats like churu, and he's warming up to gentle petting while he eats. While he might not seek attention yet, his playful antics, like rolling over and exposing his potbelly while smiling in his sleep, bring joy. Though he can be territorial, especially with new cats, he cohabitates well with familiar companions. The ideal home for Meatball would be one where patience and understanding are prioritized, allowing him to blossom into the loving companion he’s meant to be. With all his medical needs addressed, he’s ready to embark on his next adventure. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
