About The Fisherman

Meet The Fisherman, a charming boy affectionately known as Big Puppy or Lord Fish-a-licious. This delightful cat was discovered roaming the streets, and while we initially thought he was feral, he quickly proved he’s really a cuddly lap cat with a puppy-like spirit. At around 1.5 years old, Fishy is incredibly affectionate and playful, enjoying a lively romp with toys, catnip, and lots of belly rubs. He thrives on love and attention and is great with other cats and kittens. While he’s respectful of kids over 10, we’re unsure of his interactions with dogs, though he might adapt to a mellow, cat-friendly dog given the right introductions. Fishy would be happiest in a home with a feline friend, but he can also adjust to being the only cat if someone is around often. His playful nature can sometimes lead to him getting overstimulated, so he needs a patient caregiver who understands his exuberance. Rest assured, this sweet boy is neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on all vaccinations. The Fisherman is ready to find his forever home, the perfect space for a loveable, playful companion!
