Comet

Gender: Male

Age: 1 year

Weight: 9 pounds

Species: Cat

Breed: Domestic Shorthair – Black

Orphaned Since: 11/25/2022

Adoption Fee: $75

Comet is a black shorthaired male with piercing green eyes. There's a chance he's descended from famous felines labeled Hemingway cats. Why? He's polydactyl, a fancy word for having extra toes, a challenge for a pedi salon but no worries for a new family. He's shy, but once you get to know him, he morphs into an affectionate, chatty, active cat. He has feline leukemia virus but will still make the best family pet. Get ready for love bites if you feed him his favorite edibles, like chicken, and wave a wand toy. Schedule a time to meet him and count toes, at www.spcaflorida.org/appointment.
