Introducing Ember. This handsome 1 year old, tabby boy is a real sweetheart and will make a wonderful addition to his new family. He’s loving, cuddly, and interactive; the w hole package.
Ember is a very social cat who loves to spend time with his people. He will solicit pets from, and share purrs with, anyone who is willing to give him a bit of attention. Although Ember does like to play, he’s quite a mellow guy. He’s happy to just be around people and will make a great TV watching, or reading buddy.
Ember is currently in a foster home with another cat and they get along for the most part. However, they do have a few scuffles on occasion that seem to stem from the sharing of resources. He might do OK in a home with other cats if the other cat is laid back and if there are enough laps, food bowls, and litter boxes for everyone to share. However, Ember does not need feline companionship. He’s happy to spend all of his time with people.
He has lived with a medium-sized, cat-friendly dog in the past and they largely ignored each other. Ember could live with a dog again provided they’re introduced properly and it respects his space. Ember has also lived in a foster home with older, cat-savvy kids and did just fine with them.
Overall, Ember has been healthy during his time with us. During his last visit, the vet detected a faint heart murmur, which had never been heard during his previous visits. She suspects that it was likely due to stress from the visit (which can cause ‘turbulence’ in the heart.) However, we cannot rule out a very minor heart murmur.
