Goatee Pizza

My story

Silly, Sweet, Handsome Goatee Pizza is an outgoing guy who wants to be friends with you as soon as he meets you! He’s very friendly and confident, so he’s rarely nervous around new people. The first day he came to foster, he wasted no time exploring every inch of the apartment! Since he’s so friendly, it’s probably no surprise that Goatee is a chatty guy. He loves getting into conversations with his people and making little chirping noises when you walk by or when he just wants to say hello. Most of the time, Goatee is chill and off somewhere napping, but he does get the occasional zoomies and has a few favorite toys he likes to play with. He loves balls with bells in them, springs, anything else he can bat around, and the wand toy. He also weirdly enjoys being chased, and he can’t resist playfully attacking your feed under the blanket! Goatee isn’t overly cuddly, but he likes head and chin scratches and being brushed. He will often sleep in bed with his foster people and is almost always in the same room as them. Sometimes he’s even up for being picked up and carried around! Goatee is such a sweetheart who doesn’t mind hanging out on his own while his people are at work, and he’s ready to live a life of kitty luxury and relaxation with you! Goatee Pizza is one of the APA! staff’s favorite kitties, and he even won the title of “Cat of the Day” from the clinic when he got his neuter surgery! He’s been through a bit medically during his time with APA!, but still remains so sweet and loving. Goatee is currently tapering off some medications for seizures, which he takes twice a day and takes with no issues. Goatee Pizza has tested positive for Feline Leukemia. FeLV is not a type of cancer. It's a virus that causes a weaker immune system and often a shorter life-span. For the most part, 'FeLVies' are just like any other cat. APA! provides FeLV-related treatment and support post-adoption. Goatee Pizza can only live with other FeLV+ cats, but dogs and other animals are just fine! Any questions? We'd love to talk with you about FeLV care. All APA! cats are fully vetted, spayed or neutered, and have updated vaccines and a microchip. Lifetime support is offered by our Cat Behavior Team.
