Bio:
Meet Atticus — the ultimate combination of adventurer and snuggler!
Atticus is a charming male cat who lives life with delightful enthusiasm. In the cat room, he’s a brave explorer, confidently checking out every nook, cranny, and cat tree like he’s mapping uncharted territory. If there’s a perch to conquer or a toy to pounce on, Atticus is already on the case. But don’t let his explorer’s heart fool you — this boy is also a lap cat extraordinaire. The moment you sit down, he’ll appear as if summoned, ready to curl up, purr contentedly, and claim his spot as your personal cuddle companion. He truly believes every lap was designed with him in mind. Playful, affectionate, and endlessly curious, Atticus is the perfect mix of silly and sweet. He’s looking for a home that appreciates both his adventurous spirit and his world-class snuggling skills. If you’re ready for a loyal sidekick who brings warmth, whiskers, and whimsy to your days, Atticus is your guy. Want to meet him? He’s ready to explore your lap next!
Atticus is positive for FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus), which means his adopter should be mindful of his health and provide regular veterinary care. Many FIV-positive cats live long, happy, healthy lives—and Atticus is no exception. He can even live with other friendly cats.
