Bear *MUST BE ADOPTED AS A BUDDY* Domestic Short Hair Toronto, ON

Bear is a majestic six-month-old kitten with long legs, a sweet soul, and an even bigger heart. Playful and full of energy, he loves to roughhouse with his littermates-but compared to his siblings, he's the cautious one. Bear isn't timid so much as thoughtful; he prefers to take a moment to size up new situations before jumping in.

Once he feels comfortable, his affectionate side shines. Bear is a big cuddlebug who adores his humans, happily snuggling up after playtime. He also has a soft spot for toys, treats, and good food. Despite facing a few early challenges-hernia surgery and a bout of pancreatitis, both fully resolved-Bear has proven himself to be a resilient little fighter.

Because of his playful, social nature, Bear should be adopted with one of his littermates or into a home with another young, active cat. In return, he'll bring endless love, gentle companionship, and a lifetime of cuddles.

Bear must be adopted with Houdini or as a buddy to a friendly resident cat.

Like all ACR cats, Bear is up-to-date on vaccinations and has been treated for fleas and parasites. Bear experienced pancreatitis as a kitten, which means he remains predisposed to occasional flare-ups as an adult. Because of this, it is especially important that he receives regular, proactive veterinary examinations and routine laboratory testing. He should also be seen by a veterinarian promptly if he seems unwell, as he may require medical support to manage pain and nausea during episodes of pancreatitis.
