About Blackie

Blackie is a charming young male cat, ready to find his forever home after being part of a household with too many cats. At just seven months old, he’s starting to build his confidence in a new environment. Initially, he may be a bit shy while he settles in, but reports from his previous home suggest he’s affectionate and playful. He enjoys engaging with toys and likes to be held, but on his terms. Having lived with other cats, Blackie is playful and gets along well with them. However, he's a bit apprehensive around dogs, so a home without canines would be best. Although he hasn't been around children, a slow introduction after some decompression time would likely benefit him. If you're looking for a companion, Blackie is currently rooming with a cat named Stinky, and they seem to enjoy each other's company. This gentle boy is looking for someone to give him the time and space he needs to thrive. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
