Garfield

Birthday: February 14, 2014 Garfield is a handsome orange senior with a big heart and an even bigger purr. This sweet boy absolutely loves attention and will happily soak up all the pets you’re willing to give. He’s the kind of cat who enjoys simply hanging out with his person, keeping you company and sharing quiet moments together. Garfield is very affectionate and expressive. He purrs easily and often, gives gentle kisses, and loves to rub his face against you while being pet. He’s also quite vocal, so expect him to chat with you and let you know how he’s feeling. Like many older cats, Garfield prefers affection on his own terms. He does not enjoy being picked up and will make some grumbly, unhappy sounds to let you know. However, when he’s comfortably beside you getting head scratches and pets, he’s a total lovebug. This beautiful orange boy is currently overweight and will need an adopter who is committed to helping him safely lose weight so he can enjoy his golden years in better health. He will also need a little extra help with grooming. Because he’s unable to properly clean himself, Garfield will need regular brushing and routine cleaning with pet wipes to prevent matting. Occasional shaving may also be needed to keep his coat comfortable and manageable. Garfield is front-declawed but still has his back claws. He may take a little time to adjust to a new environment, but once he settles in, his affectionate and loving personality really shines. Garfield does prefer his personal space when it comes to other cats. He will hiss if another cat gets too close and would do best either as the only cat in the home or with a calm companion who respects his boundaries and gives him space. Garfield is looking for a patient, compassionate home that understands his needs and is willing to give him the extra care he requires. In return, he’ll reward you with endless purrs, sweet kisses, and devoted companionship. Garfield's adoption donation is $75 and includes age-appropriate vaccines, dewormer, flea treatment, Felv/FIV testing, microchip, and neuter.
