About Scratch

Scratch is a two-year-old neutered male who is learning to embrace his new life. A bit on the shy side, he’s discovering the joy of gentle pets and appreciates a cozy spot under his bed, like a turtle retreating into its shell. This charming tabby-and-white cat really enjoys wet food and a special treat of churus! While Scratch would thrive in a home with a confident feline companion to help him build confidence, he would prefer a child-free environment. He loves to listen to the sounds of birds from a safe distance, hinting at a possible interest in exploring the outdoors someday.
