About James

James is a charming Domestic Short Hair now ready for his forever home. During his four-month Rabies quarantine, he transformed from a frightened cat to a lovable head-butter. He thrives in a quiet, adult-only environment where he can truly shine. While James tolerates the presence of other cats, he prefers to be the only feline around—no dogs, please. He's not just any couch potato; he's the professional kind, ready to settle into a peaceful routine with the right companion. Patience is key as he adjusts to new surroundings, but with a little time, he’s sure to become a loyal lap cat. For his well-being, a patient adopter with previous cat experience will be the best match. He’s looking forward to meeting his new vet as he embarks on this new chapter. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
