Charming, One-Eyed Love Bug

Spandau Ballet is on the lookout for his forever home, and he's here to capture your heart with his charm. This big orange and white tabby sports chubby cheeks and a big, fat, stripey tail, giving him the appearance of the perfect tomcat. But there's more to him than that.

Despite having only one eye, Spandau Ballet is incredibly aware and agile. He doesn't let it slow him down, especially when it comes to seeking out his favorite thing in the world-snuggles! He's a truly a lovebug..

When you meet Spandau Ballet, you might think he's a tomcat through and through, but watch as he rolls over, inviting you to give him belly rubs. It's a heartwarming reminder that even the toughest-looking cats have a soft side.

Spandau Ballet was surrendered to APA! with his kitty sibling, Cloud Strife. If you take a look through Ballet's photos you'll see that they curled up together constantly! Recently, we lost Cloud Strife to cancer, and now Ballet is on his own.

If you have a FeLVie at home who needs a kitty to keep them company, please consider Ballet! We believe that he will bond with another cat easily, he's so used to having a friend around.

If you're ready to open your heart to a charming, one-eyed love bug, Spandau Ballet is waiting to meet you!

Spandau Ballet has tested positive for Feline Leukemia. FeLV is not a type of cancer. It's a virus that causes a weaker immune system and often a shorter life-span. For the most part, 'FeLVies' are just like any other cat. APA! waives the adoption fees of these cats, and provides FeLV-related treatment and support post-adoption. Spandau Ballet can only live with other FeLV+ cats, but dogs and other animals are just fine! Any questions? We'd love to talk with you about Spandau Ballet's care.

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.
