We’re happy to help with tips and tricks! Currently Living at: Foster home in DC area! I am Looking For: My loving forever family! Hi! I'm Cato, and I am a sweet little guy! I won’t ask for much- just some love, cuddles and lots of toys so I can run and play and be my sweet self. What My Foster Wrote For Me: Hi! My name is Cato, and I am an orange tabby boy with the personality of a firecracker!I enjoy fish flavored hard treats, Churus, and feather or ribbon toys. If there are no toys around, no need to worry! I will chase my own tail for entertainment— doing flips and twists to try to catch it.I love my human companions. I get so excited when my foster mom comes home. I make sure to be the first to greet her with a loud meow.I love to be pet, especially on my lower back at the base of my tail and behind my ears. I also enjoy getting my fur brushed.I don’t mind being held so long as I am being pet and hugged during it. I am not a big fan of kisses but my foster mom still tries every time she picks me up!I love my foster sister so much. We spend most of our time chasing each other around and once we’re tired, we’ll share the same couch for a quick nap. She is much older than me and gets tired easily. Because of this, I would do best in a home with another high energy feline friend.If you want to learn more about me or see photos and videos of me being cute, talk with my foster mom, Audrey!
