About Prancer

Prancer is a big orange guy with an even bigger love for snacks, pets, and attention. He came to us because he was a tripping hazard—a furry speed bump, as his previous family described him. This handsome fellow deserves a loving home where he can truly feel secure. Life in a shelter has left Prancer feeling a bit defensive and uncertain, even though he's eager for affection. He seeks out pets but sometimes hesitates to fully embrace them. With patience, he’s sure to let his sweet personality shine through. Prancer adores his food and treats, and he gets a kick out of scratching up cardboard boxes. He has lived with other cats before, so while he’s cat-friendly, we suggest gradual introductions to other pets. His previous family reported that he was good with children, but we believe he’d thrive best in a home with kids aged 12 and up, given his current nervousness. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
