About Twinkie

Meet Twinkie! This handsome 9-year-old black-and-white cat has a big heart and a soft spot for chin scratches. Twinkie loves attention and will happily soak it up, especially when he receives gentle brushing—one of his favorite pastimes. When he's not being pampered, you can find him curled up in cozy cat beds, enjoying a nice, peaceful nap. Twinkie is a sensitive soul who can become overstimulated at times, so it's essential for his people to understand his cues and provide him with space when needed. For this reason, he would thrive in a home without children, where he can enjoy a calm and predictable environment. He is currently on prescription food to help him feel his best, and his future family should be comfortable continuing that care. With the right understanding and respect, Twinkie will be a wonderful companion. He's ready to share affection, comfort, and companionship. Come meet him at the Animal Protective League, located at 1001 Taintor Road in Springfield. We are open every day from noon to 5 p.m. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
