About Mort

Meet Mort! This distinguished 9-year-old black and white gentleman is a Domestic Short Hair who came to us as an owner surrender. He's quickly won everyone over with his sweet, gentle personality. Having spent his entire life in one home, adjusting to the busy shelter environment has been a big change for him. He may be a little shy initially, but beneath that reserved exterior, Mort absolutely loves affection. Mort enjoys being pet, cuddled, and spending quiet time by the window. He is a calm, easygoing companion who would prefer to relax in a peaceful setting rather than be in the middle of the action. We envision his ideal home as a place where he can settle in, soak up the views, and enjoy the comforts of a serene life. Previously, Mort lived with small dogs and other cats, getting along well with both. He would also do great with respectful children who understand that a senior gentleman like him may need some time to warm up. If you’re looking for a loving, laid-back friend to share your home and quiet moments with, Mort may just be the perfect match!
