About Ares

Ares is a short-haired brown tabby and white neutered male with a heart of pure gold, estimated to be born on April 25, 2026. Unlike his more outgoing brothers, Ares prefers to observe quietly. He takes his time getting to know you, embracing a slow approach that makes each interaction meaningful. Although he enjoys being close, Ares likes to keep his paws on the ground, feeling safest in that position. Don't be fooled by his independent side; he craves attention and delights in chin scratches and head pats once he trusts you. Ares thrives with another playful cat around; having a confident brother as a companion really boosts his bravery, encouraging him to step out of his shell. He would do well in a home with older, cat-savvy children who understand his gentle nature. Ares is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and tested negative for FIV and FeLV. His adoption fee is waived if he's adopted with a sibling. All potential adopters should have fixed pets and be current on vaccinations. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
