About Paulie

Meet Paulie, a charming adult male cat ready for his forever home in Wheaton, IL. Weighing in at 15 lbs, he may be a big guy, but he moves with grace and has a gentle personality. Initially shy, once comfortable, Paulie loves to receive gentle pets and kind words from those around him. In his foster home, he has happily coexisted with other male cats and enjoys playful interactions with them. Paulie's tidy habits shine through as he is litter box trained and eats both dry and canned food without a fuss. His sweet disposition has earned him praise from the vet. Paulie would thrive in a loving household—ideally one with respectful children or an adult-only space that can give him the low-key attention he craves. He can be adopted on his own or with a cat friend from his foster home (Richie, Brodie, or Spookie). Paulie is neutered, micro-chipped, and up to date on vaccinations.
