Adopt Garfield

Garfield is currently in foster care and ready for adoption via our virtual process! Garfield, an eight-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. Here’s what we know so far about his time in foster care: https://acrobat.adobe.com/id/urn:aaid:sc:VA6C2:e30c663f-a14c-464f-ba80-… He is slowly settling in with his foster. They describe him as still being cautious but say he is making great strides. He is affectionate and likes to be near them and is gentle and loving. His foster says "Garfield has come a long way with his comfort level both with my home and especially with me. We've become bro-buddies. He welcomes my physical affection and returning his affection both by licking/grooming me and gentle boxing play. Garfield is always happy to greet me when I come home. Garfield enjoys spending time in the living room with me in the evenings. He likes his Silver Vine / Catnip, then he becomes obsessed with the TV. He’s a sweet, social boy who loves to explore! Garfield is a really wonderful mix of independent and affectionate. He can lounge by himself for hours on end, but the second you come to give him pets he turns into a love bug. As soon as it’s time for bed, it’s time for Garfield to make biscuits! He loves to cuddle up and knead on you in bed." He is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and has had preventative treatments to ensure he is ready for his next steps.
