Billy the Cat is a true Texas boy! He was rescued from a shelter in Dallas, and now he's an Austin boy. Billy is a handsome kitty - he's white with a big spot of black here and there. His little face is mostly white, but he's got a black, boopable nose, and a black soul patch on his chin. His eyes are a beautiful shade of jade green.

Billy has been with APA! On our main campus for a short while now. The sounds of the dogs barking and people shuffling around scare him, he has a hidey hole to completely disappear into and feel safe once again--almost like a safe house.

Billy's favorite thing is Cat TV! He loves to sit back, relax, and watch the birds and squirrels on a screen. His eyes will follow all the action. He appreciates treats and kitten food, because he's just a baby at heart!

He seems curious and watches us move around doing things for him. He likes it when you talk to him, and give him slow blinks. He is super soft, and will sloooooowly lean into a head rub or gente skritches on his neck.

We believe that once Billy the Cat is in a quiet home, he will let his guard down. Would you foster or adopt this sweet fella and get him out of the scary shelter?

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.
