He enjoys exploring the outdoors, hunting, and then coming back inside for some well-deserved snuggles. Dirtbag previously had a microchip-activated cat door, giving him the freedom he craves.

Dirtbag's family loves him so much that they want him to have the best environment possible, one that appreciates his adventurous spirit and allows him to explore. He has proven to be a perfect gentleman with the litter box and enjoys being loved, although he prefers to skip the belly rubs! Dirtbag can even bring his cat tree, toys, and water fountain to help him adapt to his new home. Dirtbag’s story is one of resilience. He doesn’t need rescuing; he needs a serene, happy life that his current family wishes they could continue providing. This affectionate boy is waiting for the right person to cherish him.
