About Alex

Alex is a heartwarming success story. Born into a colony of cats, he faced challenges early on, battling the beginnings of mange. After several failed trapping attempts due to his timid nature, he finally found his way to a vet, where he received the much-needed care. With his health improving, his true personality blossomed. Though he’s a bit shy, Alex is a sweet and curious cat who loves being brushed and indulging in treats like churus and catnip mice. While he enjoys pets, he doesn’t actively seek them out and shows his appreciation with purrs during feeding times. He would thrive in a calm environment and would benefit from slow introductions to other cats, having already established friendships with Socks and Moira, who he would be happy to join in a new home. At around 2.5 years old, Alex is litterbox trained, neutered, FIV/Felv negative, and fully vaccinated. Whether he has a feline friend or becomes a cherished solo companion, he will bring loyalty and joy to the right family. Patience is key to helping him adjust to new surroundings.
