I was hoping to get the perfect shot for my winter fundraiser at the humane society today and Soleil frickin NAILED IT. This sweet and handsome meatball gentleman is available for adoption in northern Vermont! www.hsccvt.org/Cats#sl_embe... - ThreadSky

He is gorgeous!

I want him.

But can't get him. 😢

However, I know he will find a furever family with those photogenic feline good looks. ❤️

Yes we are both in our 70s so we have gone through a large number of wonderful memories of amazing cars and dogs but unfortunately they don't live as long as we do so every once in a while have to let them go. We know another is waiting to be loved and cared for. Thank you for the lovely message.😄

I adopt cats, I find that anti-social cats will generally calm down once the new cat is integrated, just have to give them time, you can make special places things like that 😁

reply

torialamode.bsky.social•184 days ago

; n; she's been around other cats before (roommate's) and we did a very slow introduction for 4 months and she would still fight with them over a year and a half later. Strangely okay with dogs, but I wouldn't want to stress her or other animals out because of her behavior.

reply

bam-pow.bsky.social•183 days ago

Well sounds like you have a special case, I've had a couple of cats that you can't do enything with like that, u just have to give them the special love that thay need, you have been chosen by the cat God to look after him😻😁🙏🦇
