Axel

Description

* Available in Shelter for Meet & Greet * Axel is a sweet, affectionate boy with a playful streak and a serious appreciation for lap time. He originally turned up at a tow yard in Hawthorne, where employees caring for a local feral cat colony quickly realized this handsome newcomer was anything but feral. Friendly from the start, Axel happily accepted attention and even made air biscuits while being held. That easygoing personality has continued to shine. Axel loves people and is comfortable meeting strangers, both men and women. He is a complete cuddle bug who enjoys curling up in a lap, but he is equally enthusiastic when it is time to play. Anything that moves has the potential to become an Axel-approved toy. He is also bright, food motivated, and very trainable. In foster care, Axel quickly learned that counters were off limits and even cooperated for a little nail trim. He can occasionally be tempted to chew on paper, so important documents may want to keep their distance. Axel also spent about a week living with a Yorkie and did well, showing that he can coexist comfortably with a small, respectful dog. With his affectionate personality, playful nature, and willingness to learn, Axel should make a wonderful companion for someone looking for a cat who wants to be part of everyday life.
