About Dexter

Dexter is a delightful 3-year-old orange and white male cat with a short coat. Known for his affectionate nature, he may come off as a bit shy initially— a trait that many cats exhibit as a defense mechanism. Once he settles in, his friendly personality shines through. He loves other cats and will adjust well given some time, so he can easily coexist with them in a new home. While it would be wonderful for him to stay with his sister Trixie, it's not a requirement for his adoption. Dexter is fully vaccinated and neutered, ready to find his forever home. With an adoption fee of just $25, he's a great option for anyone looking to bring an affectionate cat into their family. Don't miss a chance to meet him at Pet Smart in Gastonia; he's eager to share his love with you. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
