About Donnie

Meet Donnie, a charming tuxedo gentleman at 13 years old, known for his unique and stylish "footwear"—white sneakers on his front paws and knee-high white boots in the back. His long white whiskers enhance his distinguished look. Though initially a bit shy, Donnie reveals a warm, affectionate nature once he settles in. He loves curling up in laps and soaking up attention, making him the perfect companion for someone who understands a gentle touch. After losing his home due to his owner's passing, Donnie is ready for a new beginning filled with love and patience. He thrives with feline friends and would likely do well with another easygoing cat at home. As a sweet senior with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), Donnie requires a special gastrointestinal diet and daily medication. With the right care, he has so much love to offer. Could your lap be his next favorite spot? Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
