When is a Hunter not a hunter? Why it’s when he’s CFC’s Hunter, a love bucket and a sweetheart of a guy. He’s a lover, not a fighter, and the only hunting in his repertoire is seeking out a lap to occupy. His is a laid back, go with the flow personality and there’s nothing hyper about this boy. His ample orange body perfectly fills most any lap, where he delights in a good cuddle. His purr is so soft that it’s almost imperceptible, but it’s dependable. Lean your head down to hear it and you just might be the recipient of one of his patented chinny nudges. Here’s one of his most endearing traits; should you pause in petting him he will extend his big mitten paw up to your cheek and gently pat it or he might tap your arm and draw your hand back to him to encourage you to resume the caresses. No claws are extended, just a very soft touch to remind you that “I’m here and love is in session!” He is just one very good cat. Please come visit our treasure hunter’s delight- he’d adore seeing you. Note: Hunter has tested positive for FeLV.

Winter 2024 Update: No doubt our orange tabby friend Hunter is the dignified gentleman in his cat room. With some younger, ill mannered kitties offering up drive by swats to the cats, his steady, calming presence in the room is of benefit to all. Hunter loves attention and will seek you out for some TLC but is not a lap cat. He has a funny habit of squatting in temporarily vacated kitty condos as if to see how the other half lives! Silly boy! Hunter is a sweet, sweet boy and we are truly the lucky ones to have him under our care. With no emerging health issues, we'll continue to welcome his peaceful energy to the room well into the future.

Fall 2023 Update: You'll be hard pressed to find a human that does find Hunter to be one of the most pleasant natured kitties, ever! A creature of habit, he's normally by the door to his room acting as maitre d' of sorts as the humans enter. Certainly, this approach will maximize his chances of getting some much needed and deserved head pets from those entering his space. When not by the door, it's not unusual to find him squatting in Charlie's condo (one of his roommates) for a change of pace. Now approaching 6 yrs of age and being leukemia positive, Hunter is showing his age a bit more but still he's mobile, engaging and just as delightful as they come. We are honored to have him under our care.
