About Buddy

Meet Buddy, a lovable and playful tomcat who brings joy wherever he goes. At around 5-7 years old, he’s a large, gorgeous grey and white Domestic Short Hair. Buddy has some heart and lung conditions requiring daily medication, but they don’t slow him down much. After getting his meds, he’s still quite active and loves to curl up next to people at night. He thrives on active playtime and needs an indoor environment to keep him safe. While he’s friendly and affectionate, Buddy does tend to get overstimulated during play, so he's better suited as an only cat or with another energetic companion. His history with other animals is limited, but no exposure to dogs or children has been noted. If you can offer Buddy the love and active playtime he craves, he’ll become an adored family member in no time. Ready to meet this big sweetheart? Click apply to start the adoption process.
