About Garfield

Meet Garfield! Born in 2021, Garfield embodies sweetness and gentleness. He takes a little time to warm up, but once he does, he’s an affectionate companion. Enjoy some quiet moments with him, and he'll reveal his charming personality. Head rubs, especially around his ears and whisker area, really make him shine. He may not rush over for attention, but with a gentle touch, you’ll discover how much he craves love. Ideally, he dreams of lounging on a cozy couch with a calm, caring person who has time to pamper him. He has a grade 2 luxating patella, which means his kneecap can shift out of place occasionally. Though it doesn’t trouble him much right now, it’s important for his future family to keep an eye on any signs of discomfort. Keeping him at a healthy weight and limiting high-impact activity will help ensure his comfort as he ages. If you want a gentle, handsome companion who enjoys life at a slower pace, Garfield is the perfect fit. Come meet this lovable boy! Garfield’s adoption fee is waived and includes: - Neuter surgery - Vaccinations - Flea and worm treatment - Veterinary examination - A bag of food to welcome him home. That’s a fantastic value of $300–$500 for just the adoption fee! What are you waiting for? Apply today!
