About Louise

Louise is a charming cat, often seen at the front of the kennel with a relaxed stance and a tail held high as visitors approach. When the kennel door opens, he greets you with gentle head bunts, making it clear he enjoys petting and attention. Though he occasionally looks around at the sounds nearby, a bit of affection quickly brings him back to focus. He walks out calmly and isn’t averse to being picked up, remaining tranquil while held. Once back in the kennel, Louise continues to invite attention and petting. While he has shown he can warm up to staff and enjoy companionship, there are some challenging behaviors from his past that suggest this cat would thrive in an experienced, adult-only home. His energy and friendliness promise a rewarding bond for the right adopter. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
