About Gerald

Meet Gerald! He’s a charming cat around 8 to 9 years old and weighs 13 lbs. Gerald's had quite the journey and is now ready for a softer, quieter life where he can truly shine. In his previous home, he lived with many other cats and didn’t always get the individual attention he craved. Now, he dreams of a loving environment where he can soak up all the affection he deserves. Gerald isn't asking for much. Just a cozy couch, a peaceful atmosphere, and a person to cuddle with. He’d thrive in a quieter household where he can relax and enjoy his golden years without much fuss. When Gerald first arrived, he had several mats in his fur, requiring some shaving around his back end and tail. He might look a bit different now, but his beautiful long fur will grow back in time. Regular grooming will help keep his coat comfortable and tangle-free. Gerald is ready for that special someone to give him the attention and love he’s been missing. Consider making him part of your family! This cat is available for adoption from Oceana County Animal Control. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
