Notes from Forever Fortunate Felines

Meet Michael, a gentle soul with an iron will and a heart full of love. This sweet boy has the perfect balance of independence and affection—not too needy, not too aloof. He is perfectly content lounging near his people or his feline family, but when Michael decides it's time for attention, well… it's time for attention NOW.Michael absolutely adores the adult cats in his foster home and frequently seeks them out for grooming sessions and cozy naps. He seems to have a special appreciation for his older feline friends and loves having them nearby. He also loves spending time with his siblings, whether they're playing together or settling down for a nap. He's a curious little guy who enjoys looking out the window and watching for bugs, and his foster family especially loves his nighttime wandering and quiet little adventures. Michael rarely meows, but when he has something important to say—usually something involving food—he will absolutely speak up. And when he's ready for cuddles, he can be remarkably persistent about making sure his humans understand his request! One of Michael's most adorable habits is visiting his humans in bed to give their faces a thorough washing. Because apparently that's just what good friends do. He also enjoys small mice, spring toys, and sparkle balls, so there's always something fun to keep this curious boy entertained. Michael has met the humans and resident cats in his foster home and has done wonderfully with everyone. He's one of five birth siblings and also has four older siblings and his mama, Marcy, so he's grown up surrounded by plenty of feline companionship. Because Michael is still so young, he will need to be adopted into a home with another kitty friend to socialize, play, and grow up with. He would especially love to go home with one of his siblings. If you're looking for a sweet boy who will happily lounge nearby, curl up with a feline friend, quietly explore his surroundings, and then insist that it's time for cuddles, Michael may be your perfect match. Just be prepared: when Michael wants something, his iron will is hard to resist! WE DO NOT HAVE A PHYSICAL LOCATION AS WE ARE A FOSTER-BASED ORGANIZATION.
