Norbert is a handsome 4-year-old boy who is looking for a home that provides him with a lot of attention. He likes to be included in all the day to day activities, and will give voice to all his thoughts with squeaks, chirps, and meows. He doesn't care to be left alone for very long, and would enjoy another friendly cat that was interested in having him for a friend. He loves to watch birds, play with wand toys, and especially chase his favorite sparkly pom poms. He is extremely interested in the outdoors and would love to have a catio to lounge in or to go outside on a harness and leash. Cuddling next to you in bed and holding your hand at the end of the day would make him happy. Norbert is on a prescription diet to control his Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease (FLUTD) and will need to remain on it to prevent any return of symptoms.
