Pet of the Week for June 21, 2025
Love cats but are allergic to them? Dino might be the cat of your dreams!
This dashing six-year-old tabby isn’t someone who will swish up to you to be petted. In fact, don’t even try to pet him with your hand! If you adopt Dino, you’ll have to get a long-handled cat scratcher, or he will set some major personal boundaries with you.
That could change once he acclimates to his forever home, but at least while he’s at the shelter, this cat does not care for cuddles.
Dino isn’t into laps, either (he thinks they’re so overrated!), but if you wrap him up like a spicy purrito in a soft towel, he will let you carry him like he’s royalty. Want to show him some love? He’ll accept your offering via that same extendable cat scratcher.
He’s on daily meds, but no worries—he handles it like a pro. He may be picky about how he accepts affection, but once you learn his rules, you’ll see his secretly sweet side.
Dino is looking for a home that respects his space, honors his special scratcher, and loves him for being the quirky king that he is. If you adore cats but they make you say catchoo, or you don’t mind a pussycat who doesn’t pine to be petted, you’ll find Dino reigning supreme at the Main Shelter at 1590 Fortmann Way. In fact, he’s currently living in the staff lunchroom, where he’s learning to get used to hanging out on the same couch as staff members!
