Joey

Joey is a very affectionate and social cat who loves attention and enjoys being around people. He’s a medium to long-haired Siamese mix, so he may need brushing every other day or a haircut every 5–6 months to keep his coat in good shape. While it might take him a few weeks to adjust to a new environment, once he feels at home, he’ll want to be by your side constantly. He enjoys being petted and will happily follow you around.

Joey was raised with two other cats and is comfortable being the “beta” in the group. However, he hasn't had any experience with children or dogs, so it’s unclear how he would respond to them.

He was my dad’s beloved companion for seven years. After my dad passed away, Joey became a bit anxious and withdrawn, often hiding. He just needs a few days of patience and care to feel safe and settled in a new home.

I’m hoping to find a loving, permanent home for Joey where he will be well cared for
