Patrick

Patrick is an orange tabby who has spent his entire life deeply loved by one family. After the recent passing of his devoted dad, and with his mom now in a senior care setting, Patrick is starting over. He’s looking for a calm, understanding home where he can feel safe and cherished again.

His Personality
Patrick is a cat who builds trust slowly and meaningfully. He’s shy at first, but once he feels secure, his personality shines. He doesn’t demand attention; he chooses his moments—and when he does, it feels special. He’s affectionate, but always on his terms.

Patrick’s favorite things:
• Curling up beside you on the bed or couch
• Rubbing against your legs
• Talking to you in soft chirps and trills when he’s happy
• Purring loudly once he’s comfortable
• Enjoying Churu lickable treats
• Showing affection with all four paws on the ground

Life with Patrick
In his younger years, Patrick was an “adventure cat” who explored his backyard on a leash. Allergies eventually made him retire his harness, but he still loves watching birds and liz-ards through the windows.

Patrick’s perfect day is simple: following sunbeams, napping nearby while you read or watch TV, and offering quiet companionship throughout the evening.

What Patrick is like at home:
• Indoor only
• Consistent litterbox habits (with enthusiastic digging!)
• Prefers calm, predictable routines

Health notes:
• Neutered male, born April 2014
• Generally healthy
• Takes allergy medication every-other day (two liquid drops mixed into canned food—easy and inexpensive)

The Right Match: Patrick’s Ideal Home
Patrick has always been an only pet. He’s looking for an experienced cat parent who will respect his boundaries and be willing to let him set the pace. For the right person—someone who values quiet connection—Patrick will be a rewarding companion.

Patrick has been loved his entire life. Losing his dad and his home has been a big change, and what he needs now is someone who will give him time, patience, and kindness as he adjusts.

He may not rush into your arms—but if you let him come to you, you’ll gain companionship, trust, and a quiet, comforting presence by your side. If you think you might be the person Patrick has been waiting for, he’d love to meet you.
