About Belvedere

Meet Belvedere, a young male orange tabby with a gentle spirit. He came to us with nine other cats, all rescued from outdoor living. Initially a bit shy, Belvedere is opening up nicely, especially when offered his favorite churru treats. While he can be adopted alone, he could thrive in a home with another cat, given that he's had exposure to various feline companions in the past. His previous experience with a young child indicates he may be well-suited for a family setting. After spending some time indoors to adjust—ideally for at least 30 days—Belvedere could adapt to being an indoor-outdoor cat, although staying indoors could provide a safer lifestyle. He has good litter box habits, ensuring he's ready for his new home. Plus, he’s available for pre-adoption, so you can meet him, fall in love, and take him home once he has his neuter surgery. Interested? Come meet Belvedere and see if he's the purr-fect fit for your family.
