Once you meet Distance Runner, you’ll be running to adopt him! Distance Runner, or D.R. for short, is an observant little guy who may come across as a little timid, but he’s just happy watching the world go by. He enjoys sitting off to the side - preferably in a box or perched on the windowsill - watching while you do things around the house. D.R. is curious in nature too, so he likes to find little nooks to poke his nose into, seeing what kinds of spaces he can explore!

D.R. and his sister, D1 Athlete, are two little cuddlebugs together. They’ll curl up with each other and spend hours napping together. They would love to be adopted as a pair so they can spend many more years cuddling! D.R. isn’t very interested in the kids in his foster home though, so he usually hides in the corner when he hears them coming. He just needs a little patience so he can take his time getting comfortable around new people!

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.
