About Patrick

Patrick is a striking large tuxedo cat with a distinctive black and white coat. Rescued at about a year old in March 2019, he's come a long way from his initial shyness. After working with our dedicated volunteers, he’s transformed into a playful companion who loves to engage with feather toys and other fun items. Patrick has a sweet disposition, especially with the volunteers he knows well, often displaying an affectionate side. He prefers the company of his friend Leena over other male cats, as he can be a bit domineering with them. Patrick thrives in a calm environment and would do best without small children, as he can sometimes get overstimulated and nibble when pets become too much for him. Patience and gentle interaction will help keep his playful spirit alive. Patrick dreams of a forever home where someone will play with him while also respecting his boundaries. If you're interested in offering him this chance, come visit him at the Alaska Humane Society. Your new best friend is just one click away.
