Moon Domestic Short Hair Warwick, RI

Hello friends! Who wouldn't want a bit of Moon energy in their life?! This sweet boy is 1 year 9 months young and full...and we mean full of big kitten energy.
Moon is a lovable vocal boy who needs lots of interactive play to dispel some of that energy. Once he's tuckered out, expect Moon to settle in your arms and purr and purr...and purr some more. He may unleash his inner wild kitty during playtime attempting to ambush your arms or legs...but Moon's foster mom has been working with him for several months, and Moon responds well to a stern "No." For this reason, we feel Moon would be his best cat self in a home with older children.

When Moon first came to the Scruffy family, he wasn't feeling well. He had some upper GI and upper respiratory issues. It has been a couple of months, and thanks to the volunteers and his awesome foster Mom, Moon has been on the mend and back to his usual silly, playful self. Moon's uncoordinated behavior, his slightly funny gait, and when talking to him, he tends to respond by tilting his head and almost rolling over; we wonder if these are signs he may have mild Cerebellar Hypoplasia. We simply ask that his new family be aware of his occasional wobbles. He is a happy, healthy...and energetic boy!

P.S. I've heard from multiple volunteers that Moon kisses are the best kisses!
