About Shaggy

Shaggy is a stunning 2-year-old flame point Persian, ready to leave his breeding days behind. This affectionate boy dreams of being a devoted lap cat in a calm, loving home. While he has a friendly disposition, he can be a bit shy, thriving best in a quieter environment. Shaggy enjoys the company of his housemates Scooby and Daphne, but he can also adapt to being a solo cat, or possibly share his space with one very friendly companion. He's comfortable around kids over 12, but it’s unclear how he feels about dogs; a hyper or intrusive one would likely be too much for him. Currently fostered in Central Florida, Shaggy is available for adoption throughout most of the eastern US. His adoption fee is $350, increasing to $600 if adopted as a pair. Transport costs will be additional. Ready to meet Shaggy? Click apply to start the adoption process.
