About Guinness

Meet Guinness, a lively young cat looking for a special home alongside his sister, Stella. They share a strong bond and must be adopted together. Guinness is working on leaving his tough past behind, transitioning from a timid stray to a playful companion. He’s got a unique growly purr and an endearing habit of licking fingers, making him quite the character. His current foster buddy, Walnut, has helped him gain confidence, and now he loves to chase toys and cuddle during movie time. At about 9 months old, Guinness brings a fun energy to the household. He has become quite affectionate on his own terms and reacts enthusiastically to food, darting over when he hears a can being opened. He enjoys every moment spent with Stella, whether they’re playfully tumbling around or quietly enjoying each other's company. Guinness is neutered, vaccinated, flea treated, dewormed, and FIV/FeLV negative. He’s ready for someone to guide him fully into his new life. Think you can help this little guy grow?
