About Axle

Meet Axle, a charming tabby and white cat who’s traveled quite a journey in his 14 years. Found behind the wheel of a car back in 2012, he's had a few bumpy rides since then. Having been adopted and returned more than once, he’s faced some health challenges, but that hasn’t dulled his spirit. Due to the passing of his last owner, he’s looking for a new home where he can feel loved and secure again. Axle performs wonderfully as a lap cat and gets along with children, making him a sweet addition to any family. He’s had some cat siblings in the past and might do well with proper introductions. It’s important to have a chat with an adoption counselor about his health needs, but don’t let that deter you. Axle is affectionate and ready to share his gentle heart. He hopes to find someone who appreciates him as much as he appreciates the moments of kindness he's received from others. Together, you could navigate life’s twists and turns. Ready to meet Axle?
