Patrick

Sweet 5-Year-Old Grey Cat Needs a Patient, Loving Home

Meet Patrick – a handsome 5-year-old grey cat with a gentle soul and affectionate personality. He’s calm, enjoys lounging in sunny spots, and will happily curl up next to you for naps. Patrick has been a beloved part of our family, but we’re sadly looking to rehome him due to ongoing urination issues that we haven’t been able to resolve, despite vet visits and various efforts.

He would do best in a quiet home with a cat-savvy and patient owner who can help manage or work through his behavior. He is neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations, and healthy otherwise. Patrick truly deserves a second chance with someone who can give him the care and environment he needs to thrive.

If you have experience with behavioral cats or are willing to provide him a safe and understanding space, please reach out. We want to find the right home for this sweet boy.
