According to his foster, “Vesper is very challenging but is WORTH IT. He is very sweet, and very smart, and has made a lot of progress in a short period of time! He just needs someone with patience, and he will be an excellent buddy for life.”
This striking Snowshoe mix has mesmerizing pale blue eyes, extravagant whiskers, and a playful though rather intense disposition. While he likes most toys, wand toys are his favorite. He is confident and social with people, however, as he missed out on some critical socialization when he was a very young kitten, he can get locked into play mode and requires careful planning and extra space to manage his behavior safely. He also takes daily medications to help with impulse control (luckily he gobbles them up with treats)!
When he’s not scampering after toys, this handsome cat will enjoy supervising your activities, as he likes to be near his person. While he is happy to leave you alone to do your own thing, Vesper is especially fond of “helping” you wash the dishes because he loves water. This good boy sleeps through the night and is fine about sleeping in with you, too. You can even look forward to him greeting you at the door with a little nose nudge — so sweet!
Vesper is a smart cat and loves learning new tricks! Recently, he’s been enjoying supervised "garden time" to explore outside and sniff new things. He’s even learning to be harness-trained for future strolls outside. When it comes to tricks for treats, he’s mastered turn-a-circle, sit, down, rollover, high-five, and also understands target training.
This confident boy would love your time and attention. If you can add an extra heaping help of patience and playtime, you’ll have an excellent, loyal buddy for life. Vesper is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and tested negative for FeLV and FIV. If you’re interested in setting up a meeting or have more questions, please complete our Adoption Inquiry Form.
