Description:
Named after the iconic Wuthering Heights antihero, Heathcliff has the same striking good looks and intensity but without the brood. Where his literary namesake was stormy and tortured, our Heathcliff is all heart. He’s defined not by angst, but by love. This handsome grey boy is an affectionate, cuddly sweetheart who becomes an instant purring machine the moment you touch him. He adores gentle attention and thrives in quiet, peaceful spaces where he feels safe. A sensitive soul, Heathcliff can be startled by loud noises, but once settled, he relaxes and shines. Since coming indoors, his confidence has grown steadily, and with time, patience, and consistency, it’s clear there’s even more of his personality waiting to bloom. Heathcliff loves interactive play with his human and has a playful streak that often emerges when the house grows quiet at night. He enjoys chasing balls, jingly toys, and occasionally engaging in a friendly game of chase with a trusted companion, human or feline. True to his name, Heathcliff is a deeply bonded cat who longs for his person and his devotion runs deep. He’s looking for a human soulmate, someone who welcomes a devoted companion and enjoys having a cat close by throughout the day and night. He wants to be near his person, share space, and be part of everyday life. Heathcliff has also shown himself to be easygoing with other cats and has previously enjoyed their presence, so a home with another friendly, loving cat could be a wonderful match for him. He loves to scratch, so adopters should be prepared with plenty of scratching options (and an understanding attitude toward furniture) Prior to adoption, all cats are spayed/neutered, tested for FIV/FELV, vaccinated and microchipped. This cat is currently in a foster home. To meet the cat, please fill out an adoption application so that we'll have your contact information, and we'll get back to you as soon as possible. Our adoption application is on our website here: www.thedancingcat.org/adopt
