About Mortimer

Meet Mortimer, a charming black and white gentleman you won’t forget. He was part of a colony of friendly cats until we discovered he needs extra care due to a mild condition called Pillow Foot. Recognizing he wouldn’t thrive outdoors, we brought him in for a better life—one that includes a warm home and a loving family. Mortimer is incredibly laid back and sociable. He enjoys being picked up, loves the company of people of all ages, and gets along well with other cats. With the right introductions, he could adapt to a well-mannered dog too. Mortimer finds joy in watching the world from a window, relishing in the simple comforts of home. His daily care involves checking his paws and ensuring a clean litter box, ideally high-sided to fit his size. While his condition may have occasional flare-ups, it's manageable with simple precautions. Mortimer has patiently awaited his forever home, and he deserves a cozy spot by the window, a family that cherishes him, and the assurance that he belongs. Are you ready to give him the love he craves? Click apply to start the adoption process.
