About Cirillo

Cirillo is a friendly, handsome boy searching for his forever home. Estimated to be around 1 year old, he made his way into our care after finding shelter on a kind person's porch. Despite his past living outdoors, he genuinely enjoys human company. Confident and independent, Cirillo prefers to keep all four paws on the ground and is not one to be picked up often, but he does appreciate affection. His playful side shines through when he's chasing wand toys, and he relishes a sprinkle of catnip as a treat. He's also a reliable litter box user with a healthy appetite, making him an engaging companion. Cirillo would thrive as the only cat in the household. Having spent time outside, he may feel protective of his territory, especially around other male cats. He’s ready for a loving home where he can reign as the king of his castle. Cirillo is waiting for his neuter surgery but has completed all other vet care and is ready for adoption. If you're looking for a playful, independent companion with a big personality, Cirillo could be your perfect match. Start your journey together! Apply now.
