Henry

My story

Meet Henry – Your Charming, Grumpy-Sweet Old Man Henry is an 8-year-old retired tomcat with a face full of character and a heart full of charm. After surviving a tough life on the streets, he’s now soaking up the comforts of indoor living—and he has zero interest in going back. Ever. He’s officially declared himself retired, and all he wants now is a quiet home, a soft bed, and a steady supply of snacks. Henry is FIV+ and takes a daily preventative medication to help support his kidneys as he ages, but don’t let that scare you off—his recent bloodwork came back great, and with a little extra care, he’s set to enjoy a long, relaxed life. He’s been neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped, and while he only has two teeth left, he’s a fantastic eater who never misses a meal. Now let’s talk personality: Henry is equal parts grumpasaurus and total sweetheart. He may grumble or sigh dramatically when he doesn’t get his way, but it’s all part of his charm. He’s not a lap cat per se, but you might just wake up to find him curled up on your chest, purring contentedly. He’s affectionate on his own terms, but when he chooses you—it’s the best feeling in the world. Henry’s love language? Food and foot supervision. If you're moving too slowly with dinner prep, expect a gentle paw on your foot and a series of increasingly intense "meh" sounds until service resumes. It’s his version of a polite but firm reminder. Though his body is a little worn from years of surviving outdoors, Henry enjoys a peaceful routine. He slowly makes his rounds throughout the day, rotating between beds, napping like a pro. He loves a breeze by the window, but has absolutely zero interest in what’s happening outside. That life? He’s over it. Henry would do best as the only cat in a quiet home where he can reign in peace. He’s not destructive, not clingy, and has no desire to jump on your counters or swing from the curtains—he’s seen it all and is now firmly in his “been there, done that” era. If you’re looking for a low-maintenance, quirky, and endlessly endearing companion to share your home and heart, Henry just might be your guy. Come meet this lovable old man and see why everyone falls for his perfectly grumpy, completely sweet self.
