About Buggie

Buggie is a sweet adult cat who has previously shared his home with both cats and dogs. He's finding the shelter environment a bit overwhelming but shines in a one-on-one setting. Buggie is more than just a cat; he’s a big cuddle bug who prefers to initiate interactions on his own terms. In his previous home, he had some fearful moments around dogs, so he would thrive best in a dog-free environment. During assessments, Buggie shows his social side by approaching gently and responding positively to soft talking. He enjoys being petted and leans in for more while easily handling being picked up—though he might squirm a bit. After some time being observed, he calmly returns to his food bowl, showing his relaxed nature. Buggie has no known behavioral issues and is well-suited for cat parents who have a typical understanding of feline behavior. If you're looking for a cat who appreciates attention but likes to take things at his own pace, Buggie could be the perfect fit. Make his next chapter a joyful one. Apply to adopt!
