About Scruffy

Scruffy is a charming and lively cat who brings joy wherever he goes. His playful spirit makes him a delightful companion, often following you around and eagerly flopping on the floor for belly rubs. Scruffy is high energy and loves to play, making him well-suited for a home with another sturdy, energetic feline or dogs. He has some charming quirks from an old upper respiratory infection, like corneal fibrosis and a chronically snuffly nose, which honestly adds to his charisma. Although he’s testing the waters of life with love nibbles for attention, he would not be a good candidate for homes with children. After a dental procedure, Scruffy will be ready to find his forever home. He is neutered, vaccinated, and litter box trained. If you want a goofy little shadow who loves being involved in everything you do, Scruffy just might be the one for you! Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
