About Moochie

Moochie came to us after losing his home and his beloved dog friend, leaving him understandably confused and withdrawn. Initially, he spent days hiding in a small cubby, but he's gradually coming out of his shell and revealing a sweet, playful personality. Though a senior cat, Moochie enjoys playing with toys and exploring his surroundings. He takes some time to adjust to new environments, but once he settles in, he starts to purr and play within a few days. Moochie would thrive in a home with a safe yard to lounge in, and then come inside to relax. Understanding his body language is key; sometimes he seeks affection, while other times he prefers his space. Once he trusts you to respect his boundaries, he becomes the happiest companion.
