I'm a friendly and affectionate boy who's a favorite of the shelter staff and volunteers. Why do they all love me so much?  Because I'm wonderful, that's why!  I'm very outgoing and playful, and I adore people - especially when they're petting me.  :)  I'm currently a chunky monkey because I weigh in at a whopping 21.5 pounds.  This means there's a lot of me to love, but I really do need to get down to a healthier weight.  I'm on a diet here at the shelter and I've already lost 2.5 pounds!  My adopter will need to continue with my weight loss plan so I can slim down. I'm an older guy but I still enjoy playing with toy mice and catnip toys. I'm looking for a quieter home without a lot of noise and commotion where I can be somebody's lap cat.  I'm about 10-12 years old, but since cats can live for 20 or more years, I have plenty of time to devote to loving you. :)  If you're looking for an exceptional companion, you'll want to hurry in to meet me!
