Meet Spock, a handsome Maine Coon mix who came to the rescue as an owner surrender.
Spock is a sweet, affectionate boy who forms strong bonds with his people. While he can still be a little cautious in new environments, he comes out of his shell and is much more comfortable with people now. Once he feels safe, he becomes a loyal companion who loves following his person around, soaking up pets, lap sitting and sleeping in bed with them at night.
Spock is a vocal, social cat with a BIG personality—and one adorable quirk is that he wags his tail like a dog! He loves attention and being near his people and is a great communicator who isn't shy about letting you know what he wants. He especially loves chasing bouncy balls and will sometimes ask his person to throw one for him. He'll chase it down and bring it back to keep the game going—or, if he loses track of his favorite toy, he'll meow for help finding it! Brushing isn't his favorite, but he'll happily accept it with any liquid cat treat. He also isn't a fan of being picked up or having his nails trimmed.
This playful boy does best with larger, confident male cats who can match his rough-and-tumble play style. He got along very well with an older male cat and also did great with dogs. However, he can be too intense for smaller or timid cats, especially female littermates, as he may chase, corner, or taunt them during play. Because of this, we recommend a home with either no other cats or only confident, assertive male cats who can handle his energetic personality.
If you're looking for a fluffy, talkative companion with a big personality who has blossomed into a confident and affectionate cat, Spock may be your perfect match!
Note: Spock has a history of improper litter usage. This has not recurred since the behavior was addressed, and he has been consistently using his litter box.
