About Simba

Simba is a gentle giant at 13 years old, with an estimated birth date of September 27, 2013. Weighing in at 18.5 pounds during his latest vet visit, he enjoys lounging next to his human family and has a chatty personality, responding with purrs or meows whenever spoken to. Needing to follow his people around, Simba can be a little clumsy, so it’s important to be mindful of his presence. As an indoor-only cat, he requires supervision near open doors to prevent any daring escapes. Simba has a friendly disposition, having previously lived with both dogs and other cats, and he is well-mannered with respectful companions, including children. He's the kind of cat that might greet visitors rather than retreating to hide, showcasing his laid-back nature. While he mostly enjoys a cozy life on the couch, weight loss might encourage a little more playfulness. He has a heartwarming habit of giving “the nod,” as if acknowledging you're cool, which adds to his charm. Despite some recent surgery to remove a growth over his eye, he's in great health following a recent dental check and senior blood work. Adopting a senior cat like Simba can be an incredibly rewarding experience. Ask about this lovely companion today!
