About Dos

Meet Dos, a charming lap cat looking for his forever home. At 12 years young, he is a silky soft and handsome Maine Coon/Domestic Short Hair mix. Dos has spent most of his life cozying up with his mama kitty and his littermate, so he's used to feline company and currently thrives in foster care at Pima Animal Care Center. Transitioning from a stable home to a shelter environment has made Dos a bit shy, especially when meeting new people. Upon introduction, he might be found hiding as he takes his time adjusting to his new surroundings, but with patience and love, he will reveal his affectionate side. Once comfortable, this reserved boy craves companionship, often choosing to snuggle up on your lap or stay close by your side, while also appreciating his alone time. He enjoys watching you go about your day and has excellent litter box habits. Dos would thrive in a calm home environment without small children, as he can become easily overstimulated. For those experienced with cats, he promises endless love and companionship once he feels secure. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
