Terrel is currently in foster care and ready for adoption via our virtual process!
Terrel, a four-year-old male, just arrived and is still getting settled in, so we’re just beginning to learn who they are. Right now, everything is new—new people, new sounds, new routines—and we’re giving them time to relax, decompress, and show us their true personality at their own pace.
He is very playful and affectionate. His foster is having a great time with him. "Terrel is a very curious and affectionate boy. His lively energy lights up any room he's in. From the first day, he was going around the entire apartment, sniffing everything. He slept in spots he felt were safer the first night (TV stand, my work chair) but by the next couple nexts, he was sleeping between my partner and I every single night (only child vibes haha). He loves to play, has loads of energy, and is a super curious boy, so would live best in a home that can give him lots of enrichment, attention, and play. He loves cuddles and is an angel when he's feeling affectionate (or sleepy) and will fall asleep right on your lap/ on your chest. When he's very energetic, it's best to give him lots of play, as he likes to explore EVERYTHING (and I mean everything - the shower, every cabinet, the closet, the kitchen). He does get overstimulated sometimes, as every cat does, so you have to be cognizant of when play time is up! Terrel sets the rules :) all in all, he is the sweetest, most handsome boy, and makes me smile everyday, whether that's through his enormous leaps during playtime, his staring at himself in the mirror, following me around everywhere (jumps on the sink next to me while I shower), or how he sleeps with his cute little tongue slightly out sometimes. He adds so much life to every room he enters.".
He is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped , and has had preventative treatments to ensure he is ready for his next steps.
