About Puma

Puma is a strikingly handsome gentleman, bringing charm with his large frame and sweet temperament. He enjoys spending quality time with his favorite humans but can feel overstimulated with prolonged affection. To keep cuddle sessions blissful, practicing the "pet-pet-pause" technique—taking breaks to monitor his comfort—works wonders. Puma is also dedicated to his daily grooming routine, showing an enthusiasm for scratching that matches his wild-cat namesake. To protect your furniture, it’s wise to provide plenty of sturdy scratching posts, cardboard ramps, and tall cat trees where he loves to lounge. With an attentive friend who respects his boundaries and channels his scratching instincts with interactive toys, Puma is poised for a new adventure. He is available for adoption, fully vaccinated, microchipped, and neutered, ready to leap into a loving home! What are you waiting for? Apply today!
