Meet fabulous Faulkner! While highly unlikely to win a Noble Prize in literature like his namesake, if there was a prize for the BEST cuddles he would be a shoo-in. This handsome black panther is soft and sweet and loves snuggling up with you - pretty much more than anything else. He would stay velcroed to you all day if he could!

Faulkner’s favorite activities include eating, lounging in his cozy bed, catching up on the latest Cat TV episode and, last but certainly not least, cuddling up with his humans. As you've likely surmised, being chill is his way of life as is sharing affection. His happy place is snuggled up by you, or on you, at the location of your choice - couch, bed, it doesn’t matter, as long as you are together.

Faulkner has a velvety black coat and brilliant yellow eyes that sparkle with extra sweetness. He will meow a hello to greet you in the morning and to welcome you when you get home. Otherwise, he is a quiet, calm presence who adores you.

Faulkner gets along well with other cats. The kitties in his foster home have really helped him come out of his shell. When it comes to mealtime, Faulkner is currently on a prescription diet to help keep his urinary tract healthy.

Faulkner is such an affectionate, calm and elegant gentleman! He would be a wonderful fit for someone looking for a cuddly companion and would enjoy a household that includes a kitty buddy. Faulkner has so much love to share! Be the lucky recipient of his affection and so much more by contacting us for an introduction!

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.
