Meet Buddy

Buddy is a 2-year-old, energetic sweetie looking for his forever home!Buddy has a ton of energy, is very curious, and loves human attention. He'll play with just about anything, including various cat toys, brooms, and shoelaces. He is friendly and outgoing when meeting new people for the first time. Buddy is extremely chatty and has a lot of funny and interesting vocalizations that make us laugh. He's also pretty persistent when he encounters something he isn't allowed to do, and he's very smart, so he'll need someone who's willing to take the time to divert his energy and train him consistently on the rules in his new home. Buddy is very affectionate, sleeping with or near his humans at night and curling up on our laps.Buddy loves to watch the birds outside our window and chatter at them. His main hobby, though, is playing with his cat toys, especially a worm wand toy that he proudly carries around in his mouth after hunting his prey. He has a very long attention span and will play for a long time. He also spends time plotting how to get into closets and cupboards.We play with him as often as we can, because he has a lot of energy and craves human interaction. That might involve throwing a ping-pong ball for him to chase, playing with his wand toy, or supervising him while he plays with feather toys. He sleeps through the night on a chair near the bed.Buddy has had several fosters (due to schedules), and all of his fosters have fallen head over heels in love with him because he's so friendly and loving. He currently lives with two humans in a house. We think this handsome fellow will do well with a person or family who's willing and able to spend time interacting with him and playing with him, possibly including another active cat. At one of his foster homes, he lived with three resident cats and got along extremely well with them after a very short time. He has been around kids and was sweet, patient, and didn't seem afraid of them at all. We have not observed him around dogs, but our hunch is that he'd be OK with a dog who is used to cats.This adorable guy has a lot of energy, curiosity, and intelligence that needs to be channeled into fun enrichment activities. He would thrive with people who are around a lot and would enjoy sharing his playtime shenanigans. There is no guarantee of age and breed as a rescue animal's history is unknown.
