Available Adults

We sometimes have adults that deserve their own homes. They are still with us for various reasons which are outlined in the descriptions below. The fee for each is $300, or if two go together, for a total of $500. All are up to date on vaccinations and vet care.

Arlo

Arlo is a big 5-year-old neutered lilac point boy who is a beloved member of our household. He was born the summer before the pandemic and wasn’t placed before things shut down because he needed unusually complicated neuter surgery, which couldn’t be scheduled before elective surgeries were prohibited. Accordingly, he had to stay with us until things opened back up, and he never met anyone but the two of us until he was well into adulthood. As a result, he was frightened of strangers for a long time, and still is until he gets used to their presence. He’s a great example of the old-style Siamese, so when cat shows resumed I showed him and he did well, earning his supreme grand championship alter award, as well as the Best of Breed Thai alter award in 2022 and 2023. He’s being offered for placement for two reasons: we have a surplus of cats in our household, and he has developed a habit of chasing some of the adult females for sport, complete with fluffed tails and growls. It’s purely for his own entertainment, but the girls get pretty upset. He’ll be fine as an only cat, and he’s used to dogs. He enjoys lap time– and sometimes worms his way into an already-occupied lap, displacing the occupant. I expect him to be terrified initially in a new home, but with patience and quiet encouragement I think he’ll settle in before long.
