Alvaro's Story

Alvaro’s curious, energetic personality has made him a natural at clicker training, and he can high-five, spin, and boop a target! This athlete loves puzzle feeders, wand toys, and things he can pounce and grab onto, so expect him to ask for frequent play sessions. Otherwise, Alvaro enjoys hanging around his people, sometimes inspecting their activities closeup and sometimes supervising from up high. While he doesn’t require a lot of lap time, his foster said that he would snuggle whenever he sensed they were having a bad day. Because of Alvaro’s high energy levels, he’d do best in an adults-only home as the only cat.

Are you Alvaro’s new family? If you’re an experienced cat person who can offer this active, playful dude lots of structured playtime, you might just be the perfect fit.
