In the shelter’s words

Hello! My name is Adonis, and here's my story - I was on the lam for months in the wintertime and several rescuers tried to trap me. Of course, I was very suspicious since I did not know of their intentions, and I managed to avoid them all. But the snows came, it was cold, and I was getting weary. Rescuers continued to provide food and water, but by the time I arrived at the feeding station, racoons had already been there and dined. Between them and the weather, there was not much to eat. I managed to survive the winter and in the spring, as I was waiting at the feeding station, a nice lady arrived with provisions. I looked at her and she at me and I made a choice. I did not run. This was the day. She bent down and stroked my back and it felt good. She returned to her car, then placed a carrier in front of me and I climbed in, and this turned out to be a great decision. After taking a long look at me, she named me Adonis, which I find most appropriate since it means "a very handsome young man". I am warm and safe in a foster home, well cared for and much loved. My foster parents brought home more rescues, and yes, I must admit I love thundering through the house with my hooligan counterparts and jumping over anything in our way. I adore my foster mom, but am longing for more attention and someone to love and lavish me with their praise. I have not been exposed to dogs. If you are looking for a pal and interested in adopting me, here is what I can do for you: I will watch TV with you while resting by your side. I will assist while you are preparing dinner. I will entertain myself and chase toys all over the room. I will be delighted to lounge for hours, snoozing on top of a cat tree. I will be available for a cuddle, just call to me and I will come. I am an energetic, active, playful, and adoring feline looking for a companion. I want someone to love me, to care for me, and to make sure I get my daily fluoxetine so I can maintain my meticulous litterbox habits. It’s an anxiety issue, it’s not a medical issue. If you are looking for a companion and someone to love, please let your choice be me! Adonis was born around April 2021 . He is currently being lovingly fostered in Woodbury. He is fixed, is up-to-date on shots, is microchipped and tested neg for FIV/FeLV* All of our cats and kittens are cared for in loving foster homes. "Meet and greets" can be arranged only after an application has been submitted and approved.
