About Heathcliff

Heathcliff is an adult male Domestic Short Hair who was rescued as a stray and brought to the shelter. This affectionate boy loves being petted and will happily return the favor with head rubs and gentle purring. He enjoys exploring new nooks, finding the coziest spots for his naps, and playfully chasing after toys. When he first arrived, he had some mats in his fur which required a bit of shaving, so he would benefit from regular brushing to keep his coat looking great. Heathcliff can be a little hissy at times towards other cats, showing his vocal side, but he rarely acts on it. Despite this, he gets along with other cats and children quite well. Come meet this charming fellow—Heathcliff is ready to find his forever home!
