1. Pax
Meet Pax! A little adventurer with a big personality and an even bigger heart.
Pax’s story began just over a year ago when we discovered a tiny kitten hiding inside the engine of our car! Since that unexpected introduction, he’s grown into a handsome gray-and-white tuxedo cat with bright yellow eyes, an adorable pink nose with a cute little freckle, white mittens on his front paws, and thigh-high white socks on his back legs.
Pax is an energetic, affectionate, endlessly curious little guy who approaches life as one big adventure. Whether he’s sprinting through the house at top speed making his little gremlin noises, investigating a mysterious sound, or finding a creative new way to squeeze himself somewhere he probably shouldn’t be, there’s never a dull moment with him.
He’s also an absolute sweetheart.
Read more about Pax
Pax loves his people and wants to be part of whatever they’re doing. He’ll greet you at the door, follow you around the house, offer enthusiastic headbutts, and rub against your legs asking for attention. When he’s ready to wind down, he’s more than happy to curl up on your lap while you watch TV and fall fast asleep.
Playtime is Pax’s love language. He’s a big fan of interactive toys, particularly his beloved octopus wand (he jumps SUPER high trying to catch it!), motorized toys, and a stuffed duckie he’s had since he was a tiny kitten. He will bring you a toy whenever he’s ready to play! He’s an enthusiastic climber and loves finding the highest spot in the house to survey his kingdom. A tall cat tree, window perches, and plenty of opportunities to climb, jump, and explore are essential for this adventurous boy.
Pax is also a self-appointed food inspector. He LOVES mealtime and gets extremely vocal and affectionate while you are preparing his dish. If you’re enjoying a meal, you can expect him nearby, carefully monitoring your plate in case something happens to fall. He will happily do just about anything for a squeeze treat, which makes trimming his nails so quick and easy!
What does Pax’s perfect home look like? Pax would thrive with someone who has plenty of love, patience, and time to devote to him. He’s an active, social cat who needs interactive play, mental stimulation, and opportunities to burn off his abundant energy.
His dream home would ideally include another young, energetic, playful cat who actually wants a wrestling buddy. Pax absolutely loves trying to play with our other cat, but unfortunately, he keeps trying to play with her while she anxiously runs away. He has a hard time accepting that she isn’t interested, and their personalities simply aren’t a good match. This is the only reason we’re looking for a new home for him. We love him dearly and want him to have a life where he can truly thrive with a playmate!
Pax has a mischievous streak, so his future family should be prepared for a curious little explorer who enjoys investigating cabinets, hopping onto tables, hiding in boxes, and occasionally chewing artificial plants/flowers.
Pax has always been an indoor cat, although he absolutely loves spending time on our enclosed patio, watching the world and taking in all the interesting sights and smells. He’d love a secure catio or enclosed outdoor space in his next home, but only if his humans are nearby to keep him company!
A few more things about Pax - Pax is neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. He reliably uses his litter box. Although he is great with our toddler, toddlers can be unpredictable and he would do best with older kids or adults with another playful cat. He hasn’t lived with dogs, so we’re unsure how he’d do with them.
Above all, Pax is a lovable, goofy, affectionate little character with so much personality to share. He needs a family who will embrace his enthusiasm for life, enjoy his endless curiosity, provide plenty of playtime, and appreciate the cuddly sweetheart underneath all that energy.

Adopting a cat in Lantana
Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the cat, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your cat in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.
Senior cats are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate cat, ask the rescues about their older residents.
Kittens go quickly, especially in spring and summer. If you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon, and think about adopting two: young cats keep each other company and out of mischief.
