About Cookie

Meet Cookie! He and his brother Oreo came from a feral colony and are finding their way into the world of house cats. Cookie is charming and thrives on affection; he enjoys sunbathing on the cat tree or playing with interactive toys all day long. One of Cookie's delightful quirks is his 'melt button'—give him a gentle scratch behind his ears, and he’ll lay down contentedly. He’s becoming increasingly social, often flopping beside his foster for some TLC. He's already responding to her calls! Cookie loves to chase the feathers on the Smart Kitty interactive toy. His foster describes him as the social butterfly, always ready to explore and engage with his surroundings, while Oreo is the calmer sibling. Cookie has also shown curiosity toward other resident cats and a small dog. Adoption is encouraged for Cookie and Oreo together to truly enrich their lives. Ready to make them part of your family?
