Quirky, Little Shadow, Easy

Heston is a little guy with a big personality! He has big feet and will hop around like a bunny and sort of creeps around, rather than just walking. Heston loves to lounge around whether it be on the couch, next to you or in your lap. He leads a balanced life and also enjoys playing with string toys, he'll run around in circles chasing them!

Heston will waddle along behind you as you go about your day, and curl up beside you or in your lap. He is a sucker for pets on the head and he will purr like there is no tomorrow! Heston has had no issues with his foster's dog and pretty much ignores him. Heston is an older guy with a bit of a sensitive back, so he would love a calm environment for his retirement home.

Before coming to APA! Heston had some broken bones, which has resulted in him having some back pain. He takes daily medicine for his back, which is easily sprinkled into his wet food. Heston would love a home with patient people that give him all the love he deserves and time to adapt. The second he realizes that he is safe with you, Heston will seek out attention from you all day!

Simply give Heston some time to get used to everything in his new home, and then he will begin seeking your attention and sitting on your lap! He would likely do best with adults, young adults, and older kids. All he needs is gentle people to love, a window to perch in, and a toy or two, and then this boy will live his best life!

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.
