Axel's Story

Meet Axel!<br/><br/>Axel is a pure black male adult cat (all black cats have Siamese in them) approximately 9 years old. He might be small but he has inner big cat, he is a little soldier and is very loyal.<br/><br/>He gets along with other cats. He still lives with the same two male cats in his foster home and now has two foster sister cats as well. He did live with a dog but is not fond of dogs. His foster home has a cat friendly 40 lb dog but Axel would be better in a home with no dogs. It would be less stressful for him.<br/><br/>Mr. Axel is scheduled to have a dental cleaning, x-rays and some extractions on January 7th, 2026. He has been on antibiotics for an upper respiratory infection and is doing great. Once he has healed from his surgery he will be available to be adopted. However he can be put on hold. He was recently tested, and had bloodwork. He will get his vaccines updated at his surgery appointment.<br/><br/>He loves to be petted and his foster mom picks him up. He is a good eater, he loves his canned/wet food, Churru's (lickable treats) and pretty much any treat!<br/><br/>He was an indoor cat only up until the last year or so and became an indoor/outdoor cat. He is in a foster home now where he is indoor only again and he has made no objections at all about it. However, a catio/ screened in porch would be ideal so he can have the best of both worlds!<br/><br/>Axel is doing well in his foster home and is a pretty chill. He loves to carry a toy mouse in his mouth and will be vocal to let everyone know he caught a mouse! It is the cutest thing! He also likes to play Da Bird. He is still a young kitty at heart!<br/><br/>For questions or more information or to adopt Axel please call or text Harley at (931)209-8006 or email harley.martin89@gmail.com<br/><br/>Thank you!
