How is your cat with other cats?:

What criteria are important to you when considering an adoptive family or home for your pet?: Book needs someone who can give him attention everyday once he gets used to them. They also need to be patient in learning about his preferences since he's pretty particular in a couple areas about different things.

Is there anything else you'd like your pet's new family to know?: I'm going to really miss him, he's very sweet despite being pretty shy.

Why are you rehoming your pet (primary reason)?: Schedule, No Time

Details about rehoming reason (if needed): I (Alex Kunczynski's son) am Book's primary source of stability, but I go to my mom's house for a whole week every other week because of their custody agreement, so he loses that stability every time I go over. He's prone to peeing on things when distressed and he pees on things when I'm gone which is why he needs someone who can spend time with him even if it means just talking, giving treats, or being in the same room and not petting him since he's not very cuddly.

If applicable, do you have the legal right or necessary permission from the breeder or rescue organization to rehome this pet? :
