About Guppy

Guppy is a fascinating three-year-old male cat who embodies both toughness and tenderness. He sports extra toes and is learning the peaceful pleasures of indoor life after starting off as a stray. When he arrived, he had some ear wounds from an ear mite infection, but that’s been treated, and he’s now on the mend. Though Guppy has a gentle demeanor, he reveals a playful spark at times, occasionally swatting or nibbling at hands that move too quickly. He's not one for adventures; instead, he enjoys lounging comfortably in his own cozy spot. Guppy would thrive in a home with someone patient and willing to help him fully embrace a more relaxed lifestyle. He's ready to offer loyalty and affection to whoever welcomes him into their heart.
