Description:
Are you looking for the missing piece for your home Chess set? Our friend Bishop doesn’t just move diagonally—he moves in every direction his heart desires! Bishop is looking for a cat-savvy adopter who can discern his gambits. Adopters should pet him only on his terms and in short doses since he can become overwhelmed by the attention. He much prefers to go to you when he’s ready for attention, rather than being approached. Once settled into a new home, Bishop is described as a playful, affable cat who likes to politely headbutt legs and enjoys being around his favorite people. During playtime, he has a reputation for capturing toys and the occasional catnip-stuffed banana. With a proper introduction to new people and environments, he’ll be sure to add some joy to your castle! Bishop would probably do best in a home with teens and up. Bishop has previously lived with a small dog, but it is unknown how he felt about them. It is unknown how Bishop would be with other cats. A Matchmaker can give you tips to help set Bishop up for success! If Bishop has captured your heart (or your knight, or your pawn), checkmate the “Adopt Me” button to complete an application here - https://adopt.adopets.com/pet/2ffbedfd-7ec0-4040-8f32-f5660bf95ce6 *The ASPCA Adoption Center encourages a $150 suggested adoption fee when adopting an animal. This suggested adoption fee allows the ASPCA to continue our lifesaving work and help even more animals in need. We are grateful for any and all amounts given at the time of adoption.* For more information on adopting from the ASPCA, please visit www.aspca.org/adoptionsteps. **The ASPCA is committed to prioritizing the health and safety of the community, the animals in our care and our staff, and we are keeping a close eye on developments related to the COVID-19 crisis as they evolve. As such, the ASPCA Adoption Center in New York City is currently closed for in-person visitors. However, we are excited to offer remote adoptions using video conferencing! In-person meet-and-greets are also sometimes available or required for specific animals. Please check out our available cats and dogs above, and if one catches your eye, apply directly for him or her. An ASPCA Matchmaker will let you know if the animal you are interested in adopting is eligible for or requires an in-person meet-and-greet. Please note: Adoption applications are handled in the order they are received and submitting an adoption survey does not constitute a hold or guaranteed adoption. You can expect to receive automated emails updating you on your adoption status as our Matchmakers go through applications. Thank you for your patience, and we hope you find your match!**
