About Socks

Socks is a charming tuxedo cat with cloud-soft fur and a delightful personality. This little guy is affectionate and enjoys staying close to his people. While he's not quite a lap cat yet, he's eager to get to know you and won't hesitate to show off his fluffy tummy when he feels comfortable. With remarkable agility, Socks can be a tiny furry ninja, often playfully stalking around. He has a strong affinity for wand toys and will happily observe the world from high perches. Cuddling with his momma and playfully pouncing on his brother's tail are also among his favorite activities. Crucially, Socks thrives on feline companionship, so he must be adopted with a friend or into a home with a friendly resident cat. He's neutered, up to date on vaccines, and negative for feline leukemia and aids (FIV). While his compatibility with dogs and young children hasn't been tested, his friendly attitude suggests he'll likely get along with most. His favorite treat? Churros! If you're looking for a playful and loving little companion with a big heart, Socks is ready to meet you!
