About Alec

Meet Alec, the Handsome Cat-Tree King! This stunning grey marbled tabby boasts the sleekest, softest fur and a lively personality to match. Alec loves to engage in playful antics, especially chasing and wrestling with his siblings, Clary and Jace. When he isn’t busy romping around, you’ll find him indulging in his favorite toys, like the ball tower or seeking out that elusive little red dot. Climbing is a passion for Alec. He relishes being at the top of the tallest cat trees, often found napping there after a busy play session or enjoying some peaceful alone time. He's also an avid bird watcher, soaking up sunshine while observing nature from the window. This affectionate boy adores being around his humans, following them with a loud purr requesting some love and snuggles. A cozy blanket makes for the perfect snuggle buddy! Alec thrives in the company of other cats, especially with his siblings, and would benefit from having a feline friend in his new home. While we haven’t tested how he interacts with dogs or young children yet, he’s shown himself to be incredibly adaptable and loving. Despite being FIV+, Alec can live a long, happy life and interact safely with non-FIV+ cats. He’s ready for the right family to take him home, a family that will appreciate his playful spirit and nurturing nature. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
