Bear is a 6-year-old male Bombay who is a loving, people-oriented cat and enjoys being close to his humans. He’s friendly with strangers, loves to cuddle (especially laying on your chest), and even likes to “participate” in yoga by keeping you company on the mat. He is very vocal and will call to you if he feels lonely. Bear is very food-motivated—especially when it comes to baked goods—so a watchful eye is needed around snacks.
Bear was previously owned, but after his owner passed away, he spent time living on the streets. Despite this, he remains gentle, affectionate, and trusting.
Bear has a few manageable medical needs. He is diabetic and requires daily medication and needs to be on a starch free diet. He also has arthritis in his back left leg and benefits from daily fish oil to help manage joint discomfort and dandruff. Bear has successfully lived with other cats and shows no aggression toward new feline companions.
Bear would thrive in a calm, attentive home with someone willing to support his medical care. In return, he offers companionship, affection, and a big heart!
