In the shelter’s words

Meet Tommy! A loving approximately seven-year-old Domestic Shorthair cat currently in San Diego, CA, whose handsome silver-gray tabby coat and affectionate personality make him an irresistible cuddle companion. Weighing 14 pounds, Tommy is a gentle, social sweetheart who believes everyone he meets is a potential new friend! He enthusiastically greets visitors by rubbing against their legs, asking for pets, and sometimes settling right on their feet. Whether curled up in your lap or relaxing beside you, Tommy loves being close to his favorite people. He's also a quiet gentleman who rarely vocalizes, except when being picked up. When he's not busy spreading affection, Tommy enjoys watching the world outside his window. Birds and squirrels provide endless entertainment, especially when he can chatter at them from his cat tree. His favorite toy is an interactive owl who squeaks and flaps his wings, bringing out Tommy's playful side! Tommy has Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) and asthma, which requires twice-daily oral Prednisolone. Fortunately, this clever boy has mastered his medication routine! When he hears "Ready, ready, ready, open, open," he opens his mouth, knowing delicious Greenies and Temptations treats are coming. His caregiver happily offers to teach his new family this simple routine. Tommy has reportedly experienced only one asthma episode in the past year. Tommy is neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. He also eats a special urinary-care diet to help prevent crystals. His caregiver has also offered a monthly contribution toward his ongoing care. This affectionate boy needs a calm, loving home with an experienced cat parent who is comfortable managing his medical needs. His compatibility with children, dogs, and other cats remains uncertain, so thoughtful introductions and careful consideration are important. He would appreciate room to explore, daily playtime, and plenty of opportunities for snuggling! Ready to welcome this charming, treat-loving cuddlebug into your family?
