About Cooper

Cooper, a big-hearted guy, has come a long way since arriving at his foster home. Initially scared and confused, he is now full of life and affection. He adores head scratches, which instantly trigger his purring engine, and loves to keep an eye on his humans, especially in the kitchen. Food is his other great love; he’s quite the foodie and will politely sit for his meals. To keep fit, he practices his hunting skills with cat toys, but nothing excites him quite like a laser pointer. Though he's primarily spent time with adults, his gentle nature suggests he could bond well with older children who understand cat body language. As he continues to adapt, Cooper appreciates slow introductions to new people and environments. This sweet cat is not just looking for a home, but a family willing to give him the love and engagement he craves. Ready to meet Cooper? Apply today!
