About Bear

Bear is your clever companion, taking charge in the sibling department as the brains behind the operation. This two-year-old black Domestic Shorthair is both smart and curious, with a playful spirit ready to explore new surroundings. He might take a moment to hesitate, but Bear's natural curiosity wins out and he jumps right into the action. He loves wand toys, enjoys exploring, and adores snuggling with his brother Boo. Initially shy with strangers, Bear becomes sweet and affectionate once he feels safe. He even aspires to befriend a resident cat in his foster home, despite her clear refusal. Bear shares a strong bond with Boo; they play and cuddle, navigating their sibling squabbles mostly over food. While Bear prefers dry food, he’s comfortable being picked up and gets along well with other cats and even dogs. Just a note, they have a talent for redistributing cat litter, so a covered litter box is advisable! Bear is neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccinations, and house trained. If you believe your home would benefit from a clever and affectionate companion like Bear, don't hesitate to reach out and start the adoption process!
