02 · Why he's looking

He knows what he wants, and he will let you know.

Adebisi came with me from Saudi Arabia. After losing my position in the government, I accepted a job that has me traveling 75% of the year. It was not in the cards, and it has brought hardships I didn’t plan for. Parting with Adebisi is one of them.

A life on the road is not a life for a cat like him. He deserves someone who is home, and I want to find that person for him.

He loves affection, on his terms. Forehead kisses are a thing.

He is very vocal, and he requires attention. He needs a person who enjoys a talkative cat and makes time for him every day.

He is very alpha, and he likes to take the lead. He needs a house, with space to roam and hide, lounge and chill, and no children living in it.

He hasn’t lived with another cat in three years, so I don’t know yet how he would do with one. If you have a cat, you’re welcome to apply. The right introduction, done slowly, could make it work.

He is neutered, up to date on his shots, and microchipped, and he sees the vet at Banfield in Columbia. He is an indoor cat, and he does not like collars.

He is in Columbia, Maryland. The trip from Saudi Arabia was enough travel for a lifetime, so he can’t take a long road trip. His new home needs to be a short drive away.

He is also tall. Standing up, he can reach and open lever-style door handles, so his new home needs to keep outside doors secured.

03 · The Edit

He comes with

Rehoming fee$200

There is a $200 rehoming fee, due when he goes home with you. I am currently away on a project, so the fee helps me pay an assistant to be there in person for the exchange.

It also covers a small part of what goes home with him, since his Litter-Robot, bowls, and three months of food are worth well beyond it.

And it asks for a real commitment. A fee helps me find someone who is serious about giving him a home for life, and it protects him from anyone who might not plan to keep him.
