Cuddles's Story

Meet Cuddles! A 10-year-old Quaker that lives up to his name. He's a chill little guy who would love to be someone's best buddy. (Could it be you?)<br/><br/>Cuddles can be a little shy at first, but once he settles in and gets to know you, one of his favorite activities is cuddling and getting head scritches. He enjoys snuggling up to a fleece preener and snacking on a Nutriberry, or having a spa day, being lightly misted with water while he preens. His favorite toys are measuring spoons and cups which he loves to play to greet you in the morning.<br/><br/>Like a typical quaker, Cuddles may not appreciate hands in his cage. But once he comes out, he's all about spending time with his favorite person. <br/><br/>He has a repertoire of Quaker sounds like grumbles, mumbles, and squeaks. But his favorite phrase is "step up." Because he knows it leads to a cuddle sesh! Because his volume is lower, Cuddles is open to his forever home having shared walls.<br/><br/>Cuddles has been working on improving his flying skills and stamina in his foster home, and he can gain and maintain some altitude! He has a habit of landing on the floor after a flying tour of the room, and to ensure this little pilot stays safe, he would prefer a home with no dogs. <br/><br/>If you're willing to be patient while Cuddles warms up to you (and keep a supply of Nutriberry snacks on hand), you'll have a best friend for life. <br/><br/>Adoption fee: $200
