About Shaggy

Shaggy is a delightful companion who brings a warm presence to any home. He enjoys his independence and often can be found basking in a quiet spot, but he also loves to join you during work calls, reveling in the attention. Pat the couch, and he'll eagerly leap up, ready for some affection. With an endearing knack for invading personal space, Shaggy will happily curl up beside you, yet he’s respectful enough to sleep at the foot of your bed at night. This lovable guy has a strong affinity for catnip toys and treats, making him quite the motivated playmate. Shaggy was rescued with dental issues and is in need of surgery. He would thrive best in a home where someone is often around, like those who work from home or have a hybrid schedule. Ideally, he should be the only cat in the household, as he prefers to have all the attention to himself. The adoption fee is flexible, and assistance with funding towards his vet bills would be appreciated. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
