Xander — A Big Journey, a Playful Heart Hi, I’m Xander.My life started far from here, on the streets of Qatar, where I was just doing my best to survive. I didn’t know what soft blankets, toys, or warm laps were back then—but I always held onto my joyful spirit. That big journey brought me all the way across the world, and now I’m ready for the best part yet: a forever home. And honestly? Even my best photos don’t quite capture how striking I am in person. I’m a big boy with a long, lean frame, mostly snowy white with little touches of orange—including my adorable striped orange tail. People are always surprised by how handsome I really am when they meet me face-to-face. These days, I’m full of energy and curiosity. Playtime is my absolute favorite thing. Feather wands? Yes, please. Small, soft balls? I’m basically a one-cat soccer team. When the zoomies hit, I’ll race around the apartment, climb, explore, and show off my athletic skills. Sometimes, when I’m extra excited, I might give a gentle playful nibble or a soft bat as I zoom by—just my way of saying this is fun! I’m easily redirected with toys and always mean it in the sweetest way. When it’s time to slow down, I turn into a total cuddle bug. I love cozy hiding spots and will happily snuggle under a blanket with you, purring away. I adore pets, make biscuits constantly (even while walking around), and my tiny little meow is pretty hard to resist. I also enjoy watching birds from the window and am fascinated by the TV—though loud noises or sudden movements can still surprise me sometimes. With patience, reassurance, and a calm, loving home, my confidence grows more every day. While I enjoy my humans very much, I’d be happiest as your one and only cat, where I can soak up all the attention, playtime, and cuddles for myself. I’ve already traveled so far—from the streets of Qatar to a life filled with comfort, play, and love. Now I’m ready for my next chapter. If you’re looking for a playful, affectionate companion who will follow you from room to room and curl up beside you when the day is done, I just might be your Xander.
