Moby's Story

Please meet the handsome & laid back Moby! Do not let the mask fool you—the only thing Moby wants to steal is your heart.<br/><br/>Moby was adopted from Luna’s House as a young kitty man. Seven years later his human mom, who loved him dearly, faced circumstances beyond her control & had to make the difficult decision to return Moby to our care. Every animal adopted from Luna’s House is a part of our family for their entire lives, and Moby is no exception. <br/><br/>When Moby first came back to us he was understandably shy & needed time getting comfortable in his new surroundings. Now that he has gotten to know our volunteers, he has become more confident & enjoys the company of those with whom he is familiar. Moby enjoys chilling in our condo room, long naps, & having his gorgeous black & white fur brushed. He also sports a rather adorable short tail! <br/><br/>Moby is a sweet guy but does take a bit of time to warm up to new people and situations--and he can be bossy when he isn't getting his way. He will need a quiet, laid back home with people who are understanding and willing to give him the time he needs to adjust to a new life and new family. He would love to be an only pet again but he may be ok with other calm cats who are willing to allow him his own space. We are not sure what he would think of living with a dog but they would be to be cat-savvy and willing to respect his personal space.<br/><br/>At ~10 years of age (as of May 2026), Moby is a seasoned gent often overlooked by potential adopters. This is not unique to Moby—senior cats are often passed over in favor of kittens or younger cats. Older cats make excellent companions, as their established personalities make it easier to pair them with humans. Senior cats are also more content to enjoy a relaxed, quiet lifestyle. With proper care, nutrition, annual veterinary visits, affection, & attention, cats often live into their late teens or even their early 20s. Moby has many more years left to share all the love in his little kitty heart! <br/><br/>While health issues can develop at any point in a cat’s life, many senior cats have a known health history, allowing us to inform adopters about their medical needs. Not long after his original adoption, Moby had a urinary blockage. He was treated for the blockage & has been on a prescription urinary diet ever since. He’s had great success on his Rx diet. His new family will need to continue this diet for the duration of his life, keeping an eye on his litterbox to ensure all continues to go well for him. <br/><br/>The adoption fee for a single cat is $125 and includes distemper vaccine, rabies, dewormer, flea treatment, spay/neuter, FeLV/FIV Combo test and microchip. <br/><br/>If you would like to potentially adopt Moby, please either email catadoption@lunashouse.org for more information or complete the application online using the link on the main adoptable cats page on the website.
