She really leans into you to receive pets and has the sweetest little meow ^_^ And when she's finally done chasing and wrestling with her brother, she will nap next to you, in your lap, or behind your shoulder on the couch. She will run to greet visitors and was raised with a medium-sized dog who liked to clean her face. She and her brother, Samson, make an adorable pair and would love to be adopted together.

Luckily a good samaritan saw it happen and was quick to take them in to safety and call the SA Feral Cat Coalition to get them into foster-care. They are now two very healthy little fluff-balls who are ready to start the rest of their lives with their new family.

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

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.

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.

Adopting a cat with children in San Antonio

Bring the whole family to meet the cat before you adopt, and ask the rescue how the cat behaves around children your kids' ages.

Teach children to let the cat come to them, to stroke gently, and to leave the cat alone while it's eating, sleeping or using the litter box. Give the cat a high or quiet spot to retreat to.

Relaxed adult cats are often a better match for young children than kittens, which scratch and nip while they play.
