2. Salt
Adult · Male · Domestic Short Hair / Mixed · 4 mi from San Antonio




Salt is a 6 year old handsome beauty with piercing golden eyes. He was adopted as a young kitten, but his previous owners had to give him up for personal reasons that made it impossible for them to keep Salt. This boy is curious, smart, independent, playful, very well behaved, clean, and has perfect litterbox habits. He likes to "watch" people and has his favorite laps to sit on. He will also choose his preferred people to sleep next to in bed at night. He is talkative, uses scratching posts, and loves red ball toys (only red for whatever reason). He has a self warming black mat that he loves to nap on, especially in the winter.

He likes to play with feathers on a string and he loves windows and the sunbathing. Even the vet calls him a well mannered boy ^_^ He is truly the most amazing cat his previous owners had ever had and they loved him dearly. He has been the only pet in the household since he was a baby, so we do not know how he will do with another cat or dogs - but most cats do fine with patience and space.To inquire about adopting this cat please complete an adoption application at tinyurl.com/ccapadoptions

I put in my time raising little ones, and these days I’m ready to focus on being Rosie!I’m a bit cautious when meeting new people, but don’t mistake that for not wanting affection.

That’s when my tail shoots straight up to let you know you’ve found the right spot!Until we know each other well, though, I prefer a little courtesy: one hand at a time, please. I need the chance to get comfortable with you without feeling overwhelmed. Give me that consideration, and you’ll start to see the sweet side of me that’s been waiting to come out.I also enjoy a good perch where I can survey my domain and keep an eye on household happenings. I appreciate having my own space and would do well with calm feline companions who are happy to coexist without expecting me to be their full-time playmate.I’m not going to be the cat who rushes up to every stranger or demands to be the center of attention. But in a patient home where I can settle in at my own pace, I have affection to share and plenty of personality to discover. I just like to make sure any relationship starts with mutual respect.To inquire about adopting this cat please complete an adoption application at tinyurl.com/ccapadoptions

My name is Handsome.I’m about seven years old, and I’ve been through a lot, but I’m finally in a place where things are quiet and safe enough for me to figure myself out again.I came from a cruelty case, and for a long time I was dealing with a very large ear polyp that caused a lot of discomfort. That’s been removed now, and it feels like I’ve been given space to just be a cat again without that constant pressure.I also have FIV, but I’m not letting that define what I can or can’t do. I’ve still got plenty of energy for the things I enjoy, and I’m learning that life doesn’t have to be about just getting through it.I’m a bit chatty when I want attention, and I like to make my presence known.

I am very consistent about my enthusiasm for meals.Right now, I’m trying to find my place in a world that finally feels safe. I do best with gentle people who understand that I’m still settling into this new version of life, but I’ve already started enjoying it a lot more than the old one.I’m ready for a home where I can be comfortable, included, and finally just Handsome without everything else attached to it.To inquire about adopting this cat please complete an adoption application at tinyurl.com/ccapadoptions
