About Homer

Homer is a striking adult orange tabby who carries himself with the confidence of a lion. At 16 lbs. 8 oz., he has a hearty appetite that calls for a weight-management diet to help him shed a few pounds. Though he adores people and would gladly file adoption papers for you, he prefers being the only feline in the house. Other cats don’t quite make the cut, but he’s surprisingly fine with dogs. This affectionate and charming boy takes a little time to adjust to new spaces and prefers a slow, steady onboarding process. Once settled, Homer becomes a sweet companion who loves to spend time with his humans. He would thrive in a home with school-age kids but finds tiny, unpredictable hands a bit overwhelming. If you’re looking for a devoted buddy who wants nothing more than your company, Homer is your guy. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
