Ghastly is a plush, midnight black beauty looking for a cozy home to call his own. He is an independent kitty who doesn't demand attention or get underfoot. He is happiest when he is left to do his own thing, whether it’s quietly gazing out the window or making use of his scratch pad, which he loves! His serene presence adds warm feline vibes to your home without intruding on your activities.

When we tell you Ghastly is independent, that doesn’t mean he wants nothing to do with you! You may find him curled up at the foot of your bed some nights or lounging in a cat tree nearby while you are relaxing at the end of a busy day. But, having his own personal bubble is important to him and he does not want to be picked up or handled. Give the guy some space and he is content as can be! He also prefers to have a consistent routine. If you like things organized and predictable, you have a kindred spirit in Ghastly!

Ghastly does like to let his hair down, so to speak, when it’s playtime. He will chase and hunt down most any electronic toy that swings or bounces, unleashing his inner black panther! He will also pounce on blades of grass that blow in the wind. He would likely enjoy supervised visits outside or a catio where he can safely experience the great outdoors.

There is one thing that Ghastly cannot do without your help. He has epilepsy and needs to be given medication once daily. Give him his pills with a liquid treat chaser, and he takes them without complaint! If he misses a dose he will have a seizure. So, it is imperative that he can rely on his person to always give him his scheduled meds.

Ghastly can coexist peacefully with other cats as long as they don’t invade his space. He finds dogs pretty scary and would need a dog-free home where he can relax and live a life of leisure without worry.

A calm, low-energy household with adults only would be the ideal place for Ghastly. He needs a caring person who will give him his pills daily without fail and who will understand and love him whether he chooses to hang out across the room or snuggle up at your feet at night. If you have a sunny window and a soft spot in your heart for deserving kitties who may otherwise be overlooked, please contact us to meet this special boy!

All APA! cats are fully vetted, spayed or neutered, and have updated vaccines and a microchip. Lifetime support is offered by our Cat Behavior Team.
