Gameboy is the ultimate cuddlebug! He is obsessed with receiving head scratches and snuggling with his favorite humans. He prefers chilling on the couch and asking for affection rather than chasing a ball or jumping up and down - he's widely regarded as "the cool cat on the block."

His ideal home is somewhere calm and peaceful. He is an orange tabby with adorable bright orange fur - who knows, he might be related to Puss in Boots! Gameboy does not have a lot of experience with other animals or children, but based on his mellow personality, as long as he is handled gently and gets the best, sunniest spot on any chair or windowsill, he's fine to live and let lie.

People looking for a cuddly, affectionate, and adorable feline companion will absolutely adore Gameboy. Whoever gets to have him is one lucky human!

Gameboy has stomatitis which is an inflammation of the mouth. It is typically resolved through the removal of teeth and supportive care; he is scheduled to have dental extractions and should feel much better after that! He currently requires some extra medical care which may include medications and a wet food diet. For more information, please contact APA!

Gameboy has also 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. Gameboy 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 FeLV 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.
