About Roo

Meet Roo, the adorable little fellow who may just capture your heart. Though he can be a bit bashful at first, give him the time to acclimate, and you'll soon witness his affectionate and playful spirit. Roo faced challenges in his previous home with both a dog and a young child, which was a bit much for him. He seeks a calm, quiet household where he can thrive, play with his wand toys, and truly shine as the affectionate lovebug he is meant to be. His previous guardian praised him as an amazing cat, highlighting his playful side—he even enjoys playing fetch! Roo is likely to warm up to you quickly, and as a bonus, he's already neutered. Ideally, he would prefer to be the only feline friend in his new home. If you're looking for a snuggle buddy who loves to play, Roo could be the perfect match for you!
