ZORRO

Some cats quietly exist in the background. Zorro would never allow that.

This charming little character wants to be involved in absolutely everything you do, whether that’s making breakfast, answering emails, watching television or simply walking from one room to another. If there’s activity happening, Zorro believes he should not only attend, but supervise.

Equal parts affectionate clown and loyal sidekick, Zorro has the sort of personality that makes people laugh daily. He flops dramatically at your feet for attention, stretches himself across sofas like he pays the bills and proudly brings springs and toys back to you in games of fetch like an overachieving Labrador trapped in a cat’s body.  

He’s incredibly people-oriented and thrives on affection. Strokes, cuddles, kisses, reassurance, company… Zorro genuinely just wants to be near his humans. He’s confident, bold and curious, with a wonderfully chatty nature that makes him feel like a constant little companion around the home.  

Despite his confident side, there’s also something deeply sweet about him. He seeks comfort from his people and loves physical connection, happily being picked up and held. He’s playful without being rough and has a gentle nature that makes him a joy to have around.  

His foster describes him perfectly with three simple words:“He’s a dude.”  

Zorro currently lives in a quiet foster home with multiple other cats and has shown himself to be social and friendly around both people and felines.   He has not been formally tested with dogs, although his easy-going and confident personality suggests he may adapt well with sensible introductions.  

Like any entertaining little chaos goblin, he does come with one tiny disclaimer: Zorro is slightly clumsy and wonderfully gung-ho. Gracefulness is not his strongest skill. Charging enthusiastically into life absolutely is.  

Medical Notes

Zorro has what is known as chronic snuffles, meaning he occasionally sneezes, coughs or gets a slightly snotty nose. His foster has explored veterinary investigations and treatment options extensively, including antibiotics and nasal flushing. Despite this, the condition remains chronic but manageable.  

Importantly:

• It is not contagious to humans or other cats

• It does not stop him living a happy, playful and affectionate life

• His nose can simply be wiped when needed

Honestly, Zorro himself seems entirely unbothered by it.

The Home Zorro Dreams Of

Zorro would thrive in a loving home where he can truly be part of the family rather than simply existing alongside it. He would suit adopters who enjoy an interactive, affectionate and playful cat with a huge personality.

An active home with older sensible children could suit him well, particularly one where there’s plenty of playtime, attention and companionship.  

Suitable For:

• Older sensible children

• Indoor home with safe outdoor access or catio potential

• Other friendly cats

• Potentially dogs with careful introductions

Food

Zorro enjoys both wet and dry food. He currently has:

• Wet food twice daily, including Tuna Applaws

• Purina One Healthy Cat dry food

• Seafood Sensations dry food

• Most treats enthusiastically accepted without complaint  

Rescue Story

Zorro may not have had the easiest start, but you would never know it from the way he approaches life now. Somewhere along the way, this funny, affectionate little cat decided the world was exciting, humans were wonderful and every spring toy deserved to be proudly returned for another round of fetch.
