Meatball is a special boy. He was dumped at local feeding site back in October 2025, but it was obvious from the beginning that he was not a feral. He instantly showed affection toward humans, and is very comfortable being indoors. Meatball requires a home that will allow him to be indoor/outdoor - he needs his space to run around, play, hunt, and burn off his energy, but when he’s tired, he comes back home to unwind. He does not stay outside overnight; he always sleeps indoors. After a hard day’s work of running around outside, Meatball likes to hangout and relax next to his human in his cardboard chair. He craves human attention/affection, and thoroughly enjoys watching bird videos on YouTube. In new and unfamiliar environments, Meatball can be tense and on alert. He tends to lash out when he is scared. He requires an experienced cat person that will be willing to work with him through this behavior.
