Quincy is an affectionate and active young cat who’s ready for a new home.

This charming two-year-old “Creamsicle” orange and white kitty was brought to us from the local veterinary clinic.

His coat was severely matted, hence the trendy “lion cut” he is sporting. We put him in a tower cage next to our lobby adoption desk, and it quickly became evident that this guy was personality plus and is impossible to ignore. He absolutely loves attention, and will bat his toys around and chirp until someone comes to interact with him. He is nothing if not affectionate and persistent!

Quincy will need a home where he gets a lot of attention and playtime. A home with school age kids or a retired person who has a lot of time to spend with him would be ideal. He loves to be petted, and to be carried around in people’s arms. He also loves to be brushed, so there is no reason for him to become matted ever again. He is in the process of growing out his handsome coat, which looks to be about medium in length. He doesn’t seem to be reactive with the other cats around him, or with the dogs when they are being walked through the lobby, so he might be a good companion for another friendly dog or cat.

If you are the type of person who likes a very attentive and affectionate kitty, Quincy is your boy! As Pet of the Week, his adoption fee has been halved to just $25, and he is fully vetted and ready to spread sunshine in his new forever home!
