Billy Domestic Short Hair Toronto, ON

***IN FOSTER***

Billy is a consummate gentleman!

With his coat of luxuriant black fur, his piercing green eyes, and his majestic movements, this kitty is the cat's meow of elegance. But this extroverted and playful pussycat certainly isn't snooty towards people! Billy follows his foster mother everywhere, trotting two steps behind as she moves from room to room, then settling beside her wherever she sits down. Billy is also attached to his foster dad, and often sleeps at his feet. Billy is not shy about asking for affection, either—he'll headbutt you until you give him the pets he deserves. If he thinks you're not listening, he might even try a chirp or two to get your attention.

Billy has had to overcome some hurdles to reach his bubbly new potential. He spent much of his life homeless, roving the streets of Hamilton, enjoying few social interactions. He was a tad reclusive after arriving at EHS, although he came out of his shell eventually. After moving into his foster home, Billy was a bit wary and spent a few days hiding. However, after getting to know his foster parents, he has settled in and flourished.

Billy loves to socialize by playing, and his favourite toy is a wand with a ribbon, which he likes to chase around. Billy is also happy playing on his own. Lately, he's developed a fetish for bags—he pounces on each one he sees and then hunkers down on it. (When Billy goes missing, his foster mom looks inside the bags!) The guest room is the other possibility—Billy's claimed this space for nap time.)

If you were to ignore this resilient cat's ability to thrive, you'd be a "Silly Billy." This genial gentleman has great potential to continue his renaissance in a forever home. He would probably be best suited to lodgings without small children, and we aren't sure how Billy feels about dogs. He did well in the company of other cats during his time at our shelter, so he might enjoy sharing his forever home with another feline-friendly cat.

If you're looking for a cat who's the crème de la crème, Billy definitely fits the bill!
