About Stix

Meet Stix, your big, goofy, devoted sidekick. This handsome young gentleman has a big presence and an even bigger personality, brimming with love. Stix is around two years old and weighs a robust 13 pounds. Though he's past the tiny-kitten stage, he retains all the joyful energy, playful curiosity, and enthusiasm of one. He is neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations, and has impeccable litter-box habits, ready for a loving forever home. Stix has quite the story. Abandoned outside a veterinary emergency hospital, he was taken in by a staff member after weeks without contact from his owner. Once he settled into a foster home, his affectionate and hilarious nature emerged. He quickly becomes your shadow, greeting you with enthusiastic head-butts, following you around, and even snuggling up in your lap or sleeping right on top of you. Playtime is Stix’s favorite part of the day. He loves to zoom, pounce, and turn ordinary moments into games. His food motivation will make training straightforward and fun. A household that involves movement and interaction can provide Stix with the companionship he craves. The ideal adopters will appreciate an interactive cat and have time to engage with him. While he may be open to having a playful feline companion, any introductions to other pets should be approached slowly and thoughtfully. Stix does have a sensitive side. Loud noises and sudden movements can startle him, so his new family must be patient and attentive during his adjustment period. He has a playful, affectionate nature, and once he trusts you, he becomes the lovable goofball he's meant to be. If you’re ready for some playful antics and endless cuddles, Stix is waiting for you to bring him home. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and let's get started.
