Luca

My story

Hi everyone! My name is Luca and I’m looking for a place to call home for Christmas. I come all the way from Sedona, where my rescuers found me running around a resort. I used to call that place my home, but it was hard because I had to walk around begging new tourists to give me some scraps of food and a fresh bowl of water. Luckily, I was always well fed. I’m guessing that’s due to my charming personality and stunning good looks. Nights in Sedona were even harder because it was so cold in Sedona and it was nearly impossible to find a warm place to sleep for the night. I’ve never truly had a place to call home and a warm bed to sleep on every night. I’ve never had a family that loves me. I’ve never had stability. But hopefully that will all change now if you think that I’m the companion that you’ve always been looking for! My rescuers saw something very special in me when they first laid eyes on me. I was very thirsty and hungry when I strolled into their room, and they gladly fed me and cared for me. They even let me sleep on their bed every night! They instantly knew that I was not destined to spend my life living outside. I am far too loving and kind for that. My rescuers looked far and wide for my owner. But I wasn’t microchipped and my rescuers were told that I’ve been hanging around that resort for over a year now. Perhaps my previous owner left me behind and abandoned me. Don’t let my cut ear scare you! I had it cut a long time ago when the scary veterinarians neutered me and tipped my ear, so that everyone knew I lived outside and wasn’t accidentally picked up by animal control. Regardless, it’s time for me to leave behind my life of being a homeless and outdoor cat. It’s time for me to find my forever home. My rescuers tell me that I have a very gentle soul. I’m not your average stray cat by any means. I love humans and human contact. I absolutely love cuddles, I love to be pet, and I’ll follow you around wherever you go. I’m not too interested in toys, but maybe that’s just because I’ve never had any. I’ve never bitten or scratched anyone. I love to purr and my purrs are VERY loud. Im pretty chill and laid back. I don’t run around the house, I don’t have zoomies, and my overall energy levels are pretty low. I am good around other cats but I don’t have any experience being around dogs. I’m sure I’ll be fine around dogs too, but all I ask is that you give us a proper and slow introduction. I have been seen by a vet and cleared for adoption. The vet said that I am very healthy. I tested NEGATIVE for FeLV, NEGATIVE for FIV, and NEGATIVE for heartworms. I am neutered, vaccinated, have a microchip and have been fully dewormed. If you are interested in meeting me, please call or text: 703-909-1779.
