Today I want to introduce Zeus. He is a 1- year old cat with shiny black fur. He has been with us for a little over two weeks and is ready for his new home. He seems to like attention and is playful. He would make a great addition to your home.
He has been around other cats and doesn’t seem to mind them, but we would still like to do upper cat intro as well as a dog intro if you have either of those pets.
As soon as he got here, he settled in nicely which makes us happy he isn’t too upset but even still we would love him to have a home of his own.
If you think Zeus is the one for you, please visit our website at cthumane.org to read more about Zeus and all of our available pets. If you are interested in adopting we are now doing in person adoptions from 12- 4pm.
Hope to see you there!
