Meet Sawyer!
A charming nine-and-a-half-year-old Domestic Short Hair currently in Oceanside, CA, whose essence is a soulful blend of cuddly devotion and quirky charisma wrapped in a sleek black coat.
Sawyer is the kind of feline who lives for companionship. Whether he's curling up under the covers for a daytime nap, brushing up against your leg for attention, or perching at the window to chirp at birds, he’s always delighting in the simple pleasures of home life. He absolutely thrives when his favorite human is nearby! His ideal match is a calm, cat-savvy homebody who understands the beauty of quiet connection and long, cozy days spent together.
This affectionate boy is a true conversationalist. He'll greet you at the door with his charming meows, chat about his day, and follow you like a faithful shadow as you move from room to room. Brushing time? He adores it! Lap cuddles? He’s there in a heartbeat! He even has a soft spot for stuffed animals when he’s feeling playful.
Sawyer's heart is as big as his personality, but he does have some special needs. He experiences separation anxiety, particularly during moments when he senses his person may be leaving, like hearing a shower run or observing a morning routine. During these episodes, Sawyer can become physically aggressive, which means he may bite or claw in his panic. It’s important for his future caregiver to be aware that these aren’t just vocal protests, he can act out physically. Fortunately, with the help of daily anti-anxiety medication, these behaviors have improved significantly, and he’s been feeling much more at ease.
He’s neutered, fully vaccinated, and would be happiest in a peaceful, pet-free home with someone around often to give him the affection, structure, and understanding he needs. He isn’t compatible with other pets and would do best with an experienced caregiver who can continue supporting his emotional well-being with patience, love, and consistency.
If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will fill your days with soft purrs, meaningful eye contact, and spirited conversations, could Sawyer be the one to curl up beside you?
