Hello, I'm Perry

My grandfather, a very serious man, started crying he was laughing so hard watching Perry chase the dot. Perry is so obsessed.

Perry's Story

Perry, previously named Pawlie, has adjusted really well to his new home!

I went to PAWS looking for a companion and little did I know that I would find my best friend. Perry was nothing special at the shelter; he didn't seem more playful or loving or take a greater interest in me than the other cats. Somehow I knew he was the one though. Upon coming home, he showed me his incredibly goofy, lovable personality. He goes completely bonkers when I pull out the laser pointer and just loves chasing the red dot around the room. My grandfather, a very serious man, started crying he was laughing so hard watching Perry chase the dot. Perry is so obsessed, in fact, that he saw some light reflected on the wall above my bed and jumped on the bed, using the bounce to propel him higher, to get the light. He also loves playing with his little stuffed mouse and ball in a track toys.

He has wonderful house manners, staying off the counters and table, but using the chairs to hop on the windowsills to look out. At night, he sleeps on my bed, only after curling himself up next to my head. He wakes me up in the morning by meowing, patting my fave with his paw, or licking my chin to let me know it's time for breakfast. 

Perry is just the sweetest guy and I can't imagine being without him. I am so glad we found each other!
