Meet John Cougar Mellencat, a friendly, 6-year-old, buff-and-white tabby domestic shorthair mix that was transferred to the SPCA of Texas from The Cattery in Corpus Christi on Aug. 25 to evacuate from Hurricane Harvey. He is sweet, affectionate and loving. He adores being petted, especially on his head, ears and neck. He’ll even grab you with his paw to ask for more attention.He’s pretty quiet but has a playful side, too. Still, he is gentle when he plays and doesn’t even use his claws. His dream home will have plenty of windows to look out, comfy beds to nap in and people who will give him lots of love. He has never been around dogs but would probably be ok with a laidback small-medium sized dog. He is positive for FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus), a treatable but transmittable illness, so he’ll need to either be the only cat in the home or live with other FIV positive cats. John Cougar Mellencat has been neutered, tested negative for FeLV, microchipped and has received all age-appropriate vaccinations. Come meet him today! #156784
