What criteria are important to you when considering an adoptive family or home for your pet?: Someone that brings their cat to the vet annually, and understands that he is an independent cat that needs time to adjust and feel safe in the home. He would probably do best with a family that already has a snuggly cat and just wants a friend for him/her.
Is there anything else you'd like your pet's new family to know?: He is not a “mean” cat, he has never tried to bite or scratch. He just gets overstimulated easily so if you pet him for a few seconds he may turn around and vocalize at you to stop, and sometimes he will try to chase you lol
