Adopt Stuart, a Friendly Orange Cat

Let me introduce myself. I’m Stuart and I’m a real lap cat. There is nowhere I would rather be than sitting in your lap and nothing I would like better than being patted. I promise that I am not one of those felines that will tease you with a quick visit, jumping off the minute things don’t go my way. If you like to cuddle, I would be your dream feline since I will roll over for you. Can you be sure to give me some belly rubs while you are at it?  If you look at my picture, you will see that I have a really beautiful and touchable tummy.

I hope you can tell that I am a people guy. I am going to wait in the window for you to come home from work and I will greet you at the door.  I will put my paws on your shoulders to look at you eye-to-eye so we can decide what our night will include. My hope is that you will play with me, brush me, and pet me. I can sit on your lap while you watch television, or we can have a fast moving game of chase the string.  Whatever you decide is fine with me as long as we are doing it together.

Although I am young and fit, I have tested positive for the feline leukemia virus. Please do not stop reading now. You are already in love with me and you know it. I promise my foster can answer all your questions about this test result and the bottom line is that I am currently healthy and expect to live a long life. I would love to find a home with another FeLeuk+ cat so I can have a buddy. I even get along with dogs! But, if I am your one and only, that means I won’t have to share your love and attention—so that suits me fine, too.

If your idea of the perfect pet is a lap cat who will love you forever, then give me a call.  I think we could be a match. Oh, did I mention I am a handsome fellow?
