About Xander

Meet Xander! This charming young male is a bit on the shy side but has grown in confidence while being spoiled in his foster home. Originally trapped as part of a feral TNR project, he's now an affectionate kitten who loves to wait for his foster mom to give him pets while he purrs happily. Xander thrives in the company of other cats, so his ideal home will either have a friendly feline friend or be open to adopting him with one of his brothers, Sebastian or Bartholomew. He does well with dogs too, which suggests he would likely adapt to respectful canine companions. Currently fostered in Rootstown, OH, Xander is about 7 months old and has been neutered, vaccinated, and given a clean bill of health with negative tests for Feline Leukemia Virus and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus. An adoption fee is not listed, but adopting along with a sibling is an option. Consider giving this sweet boy a forever home today!
