Xander — A Big Journey, a Playful Heart<br/><br/>Hi, I’m Xander.My life started far from here, on the streets of Qatar, where I was just doing my best to survive. I didn’t know what soft blankets, toys, or warm laps were back then—but I always held onto my joyful spirit. That big journey brought me all the way across the world, and now I’m ready for the best part yet: a forever home.<br/><br/>These days, I’m full of energy and curiosity. Playtime is my absolute favorite thing. Feather wands? Yes, please. Small, soft balls? I’m basically a one-cat soccer team. When the zoomies hit, I’ll race around the apartment, climb, explore, and show off my athletic skills.<br/><br/>Sometimes, when I’m extra excited, I might give a gentle playful nibble or a soft bat as I zoom by—just my way of saying this is fun! I’m easily redirected with toys and always mean it in the sweetest way.<br/><br/>When it’s time to slow down, I turn into a total cuddle bug. I love cozy hiding spots and will happily snuggle under a blanket with you, purring away. I adore pets, make biscuits constantly (even while walking around), and my tiny little meow is pretty hard to resist.<br/><br/>I also enjoy watching birds from the window and am fascinated by the TV—though loud noises or sudden movements can still surprise me sometimes. With patience, reassurance, and a calm, loving home, my confidence grows more every day.<br/><br/>I’ve already traveled so far—from the streets of Qatar to a life filled with comfort, play, and love. Now I’m ready for my next chapter. If you’re looking for a playful, affectionate companion who will follow you from room to room and curl up beside you when the day is done, I just might be your Xander.<br/><br/>Please note:<br/>- Indoor only<br/><br/>For more information or to apply for Xander, please go to:<br/>https://www.givemesheltersf.org/adoption/cat.php?id=12351<br/><br/>[id=12351;ts=1772265628;src=pf]
