About Sonny

Meet Sonny, a charming orange tabby who is looking for a forever home. At just 11 months old, this friendly little guy adores people and is always eager for attention. He has been neutered, microchipped, and is up to date on vaccinations. Though he thrives as a solo companion and can be a sweetheart on his own, Sonny has faced challenges with other cats. He can be hesitant to warm up and has shown some bullying tendencies, which is why he currently stays in a cage for the time being. While a slow introduction with other felines might not have worked in the past, there's a loving spirit in him just waiting for the right home to bring it out. If you are looking to adopt a single cat who will be devoted to you, Sonny could be your perfect match. Let’s work together to help him find the love he's eager to give.
