Description

Meet Theodore Born the first week of May 2026, Theodore had a difficult beginning. He was born to a feral barn cat and sadly lost his mother and two of his siblings to a coyote. Despite his rough start, Theodore has grown into an incredibly smart, affectionate, and very busy young cat. ❤️ He loves curling up in your arms while you’re sitting and happily settles into your lap in the recliner. He can be an absolute cuddle bug! Theodore is also a high-energy youngster who needs plenty of playtime, enrichment, and appropriate outlets for all that kitten energy. At times, he can become overstimulated and play too roughly, so he needs someone who understands feline behavior and is willing to help him continue learning appropriate ways to play. Because of his energy level and tendency toward rough play, Theodore should not be placed in a home with small children. His ideal adopter would be a seasoned, cat-experienced person who can provide consistency, structure, and guidance. He may also benefit from working with a qualified feline behaviorist who can help his adopter better understand his needs and set him up for success. The good news? Theodore does great with other cats! ❤️ A well-matched feline companion may be a wonderful fit for this social, energetic boy. Theodore has received veterinary care and is currently being given some additional support to help him settle and thrive. Theodore is: ✂️ Neutered Up to date on vaccinations, including rabies Negative for FIV/FeLV Great with other cats Very intelligent ❤️ Affectionate and cuddly Active, playful, and in need of lots of enrichment Best in a home without small children Needs an experienced cat owner Theodore isn't a bad boy—he's a very busy young cat who needs the right person to understand him. With patience, structure, enrichment, and guidance, we believe this special boy has so much potential to become a wonderful companion. ❤️
