My story

Meet Arden – The Biscuit-Baking, Back-Climbing Snugglebug Arden is a 1.5-year-old boy with a huge heart and a soft soul. Originally adopted and then returned, Arden is still trying to figure out what went wrong—he’s a little confused and shy, but absolutely worth the wait. Once Arden warms up (and he will), he transforms into a full-on cuddle machine. He loves affection, head pets, and will loudly purr his appreciation. One of Arden’s signature moves is climbing onto your back and going to work kneading biscuits. Yes, he bakes on you. You’ve been warned—and blessed. Personality Highlights:  Shy at first, but bonds deeply once comfortable  Loud purrer and affectionate cuddle buddy  Loves to knead—especially on your back!  Great with small dogs (even won over a dog that “hated” cats!)  Previously did well with other cats  Best with adults or older kids due to his shy nature Feeding Needs: Arden is a bit of a food critic. He eats wet food only (Fancy Feast or Heritage Ranch preferred). He will not eat dry food—and will tell you all about it with a pitiful meow that sounds suspiciously like, “Mommy, are we poor?” Arden is ready for a forever home where he can feel safe, loved, and appreciated for the sweet, silly soul he is. If you’re patient and gentle, you’ll be rewarded with a loyal, loving companion who will never let your back go unbaked.  Apply to adopt Arden today—and prepare for biscuits. Lots of them.August 5, 2025, 6:53 pm

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Arden, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
