Peyton Anne (Declawed) Domestic Long Hair Merrifield, VA

Peyton came to 4Paws from a partner shelter in Maryland after he had been found as a stray. He clearly had a prior owner as he was declawed and already neutered, but the owner never re-claimed him.

A sweeter kitty you will not find anywhere. Peyton is a very dignified cat with his fluffy black tuxedo with white bib and tummy with tall white boots and white gloves. His eyes are an enchanting dark amber - almost a golden brown. His white whiskers stand out against his shiny black furry face.

Peyton's eating, grooming and litter box habits are excellent. But he does like to play a bit in his water dish. He does not jump up on tables and knock thing off - that is just not his style. And he is very patient in the morning and does not wake you up till you get up to feed him.

Peyton does need a bit of time to warm up - it is important that he sets the pace for your developing relationship. But before you know it, he will be asking for pets and want to cuddle up on the couch with you and he will be make biscuits on your lap. If invited he will join you in bed too ! Peyton loves to play with the laser and he has a tiny lizard that he likes to bat around.

Peyton does take some inexpensive medication for pain in his back legs. The vets were very impressed at what a good patient he is - almost like he enjoyed it. Peyton might be best in a home without young children or the elderly.

Peyton's estimated birthdate is January 2017. He is neutered, current on vaccines, tested negative for FiV/FeLV and is micro chipped.
