About Captain

Meet Captain! This spirited 5-year-old kitty currently resides in a cozy foster home. Captain brings boundless energy and a playful spirit; he loves to run and explore. It's important for him to have at least one feline companion in his new home, as he thrives on interactions with other cats, especially those who enjoy a good play session. Captain is quite skilled at roughhousing and adores his toys. He enjoys bird-watching while on a harness and leash. He does have a history of urinary crystals, so he's been transitioned to Royal Canin Urinary food, which he'll need to continue in his forever home. Small children make him a bit anxious, so a home without kids or with older, calmer children would be ideal. While Captain has had some encounters with dogs, his behavior in a dog-friendly home remains a bit of a mystery. As he is in a foster home, an approved application is needed before scheduling a meet and greet. Start your journey together! Apply now.
