Bywater's Story

I'm a sweet fellow who loves getting rubs and purring away. If you sit down, I’ll be right in your lap or stretched across your arm—just keep a hand free to pet me! I’m also the bravest of my siblings so I’ll proudly follow you around the house and be the first into bed for a long night's sleep beside you. My biggest joy? Jumping for dangled wand toys. I’ve got a serious leap, so hold on tight! I’ve lived with an older cat and done great, and while I haven’t met children, I’d likely be OK with gentle ones. If you’re looking for even more love and fun, consider adopting me with a sibling—we all get along great! Est. DOB: December 14, 2025 Fully vetted: treated for fleas, ear mites, and intestinal parasites, tested for FeLV/FIV (negative unless otherwise noted), spayed/neutered, up to date on all vaccinations (including FVRCP+FeLV [initial vaccination and booster] and rabies), and microchipped with shelter paid registration.

If you intend to register the cat as an ESA, your living situation must meet our adopter expectations. We do not consider cats for temporary housing like college dorms. For ESAs, we recommend working with a shelter that has a behaviorist on staff.
