Ansel

My story

Best Match: Seeking an adopter with some cat experience Could join a calm home with older kids Needs a cat buddy Needs to be indoor only On a special diet for digestive issues Who says cats are mysterious? Not handsome Lynx point Ansel! His foster says Ansel has an extremely expressive face that tells you exactly how he’s feeling. Also, while he may look elegant and serious with his beautiful markings and china blue eyes, he’s really just a chatty, affectionate lovebug.  You can be affectionate with Ansel from the start — It helps build his confidence. Like most cats, he’s quite shy in a new environment, but bonding with his human makes a difference. Once he’s comfy, he’s also vocal, but not loud. Ansel will sweetly trill and offer chirpy meows. He’ll also let you know when he’d like some pets, please. That’s usually when he’s snuggling with his person at bedtime. And no worries if you oversleep as Ansel will gently poke you with his paw.  Ansel’s play style is to wrestle and hug his stuffed toys both big and small. He’s friendly with his foster siblings and has spent time playing cat peek-a-boo, sleeping next to them, and hiding together when the vacuum comes out. Ansel likes to sleep most of the day and explore by night when everyone else is sleeping, and he's more active in the morning.  Ansel is on a special diet for digestive issues. He is positive for FIV, Feline Immunodeficiency Virus, which is easily manageable. While FIV doesn't shorten a cat's lifespan, it does weaken the immune system — so Ansel will need to stay indoors and see a vet if he catches the sniffles. Don’t let Ansel’s good looks fool you: he’s a sensitive boy attuned to the moods and activities of the humans around him. You can tell how much he loves affection because when you hold him he melts in your arms! Ansel is neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. He is positive for FIV but negative for FELV.
