Lap Cat, Floofy, Acrobat

Espolon is a total snuggle bug with gorgeous, fluffy Maine Coon looks and the cutest spotted belly! When he arrived at APA! he had serious injuries and was in bad shape - but this resilient kitty has recovered beautifully. He does have one leg that doesn't work like it once did - but he doesn't even notice! He is loving, playful and could have a promising career as an acrobat!

Espolon is so affectionate and purrs extra loudly when you pet his magnificent floof! He loves laps and hanging out with his person. He is also very playful and is a huge fan of cardboard scratchers, wand toys and kickers. He gets so enthusiastic when he's ready to play or if it's time to get a new toy that he may give you a nip or treat you like a toy that he wants to capture. He just needs some guidance from a patient, cat savvy person who understands his cues and who will help him learn that his human is not a toy!

Espolon sometimes leaks a little urine when he's sleeping. However, he is now on an inexpensive medication that helps a great deal.

Espolon is definitely a lover at heart! He would be so happy in a home with kind humans who he can cuddle up with after entertaining them with his funny acrobatics. His ideal family would be one with adults only who will help him learn positive playtime habits and who will assure him that he can finally relax, snuggle and soak up all the love because at last he's home forever. Ready to meet him? Contact us to schedule an introduction!

All APA! cats are fully vetted, spayed or neutered, and have updated vaccines and a microchip. Lifetime support is offered by our Cat Behavior Team.
