Description

Bixby is such a cute adult cat. He loves to talk to you and he is playful and outgoing once he gets to know you. We've just had his teeth cleaned, which was not really necessary because his teeth were in perfect shape; and blood work on him shows he’s in perfectly good health as well. He's ready to go and will make a great addition to a home, but we recommend him as a solo kitty, because he has spent all of his life up to now as the Prince of a home.  Bixby (Jimmy) came back to us when his adopters ended up hospitalized with no ability to care for him. He is used to a family that is home a lot and yet quiet and we think he will do best in a similar situation again. His favorite toys are feather wands and snuffle mats and he also jumps in the air to catch hair ties! He has a nice long body so is happy to stretch out to do the jumps for wand toys. He enjoys being petted and will lick you in thanks. And lying on window sills, and looking out windows is a fun pasttime too.We would like to show him at the foster home rather than a fair for that reason, so please contact us to meet him!!!! He will be an awesome companion cat for the right home.He is an easy keeper, happy to adjust to any food!  Young bio when he was a kitten: Bixby is a very handsome buff-colored tabby. Just look at that face, he has strong personality and character, and tends to be very sure of himself, and knows what he wants. He enjoys playing as you can see in the picture with the tiered toy. He loves other playmates so of course kitty companionship is nice and he will go well with 4-legged friends, but will really bond to people as a single kitty so we are happy to let him be an only kitty.He was rescued with his siblings (Fancy and Cindy already adopted), from a yard, and he is still learning the ropes of being a pet, but he is coming along really well, and with some patience and good food bribes he'll be your BFF! We do not recommend him for little kids at this point.
