mira

Mira is a one-and-a-half-year-old Tuxedo cat with a personality as bold as his markings. Thanks to his absolute love for his exercise wheel, he has a very slender, athletic build. He sports several distinct markings, including unique patterns around his eyes that make it look like he’s wearing mascara.Mira is a rambunctious, loving boy who is truly the life of the party. Brimming with energy, he seems to take his life inspiration from Jim Carrey movies, channeling that comedic, high-octane spirit into everything he does. If you call his name, he will gladly "yell" back and forth with you, often following up the conversation by hiding behind a wall to play peek-a-boo. Occasionally, he’ll drift into a "thousand-yard stare," looking completely perplexed by the mysteries of the world around him.Health & HabitsDietary Needs: Mira has some gastrointestinal sensitivities that require special care. We have successfully managed these with a specific diet, which will need to be maintained in his new home.Quirks: He has a habit of chewing on plastic; while he doesn't seem to swallow it, his adopters should keep an eye on him to keep him safe. Mira is very intelligent and can be very persistent when he sets his mind to get something he wants!The Ideal Match: The best home for Mira would be one that is patient and affectionate. While he is a loving boy, his high energy makes him a bit of a handful! He would excel in a home with plenty of enrichment opportunities to keep him occupied and keep his mind sharp. He can be shy around new people and may get spooked and hide initially, so he needs a family that will let him settle in at his own pace. Mira is currently in a household with other cats and does very well with them. He has lived with dogs and children, though watch him closely, as he can become impatient with too much stimulation and may try to scratch. Mira loves to snuggle right next to his person at bedtime, but he’s not a bed hog. Just a very sweet boy. All of our cats come spayed or neutered, microchipped, and with age-appropriate vaccinations. Young cats have an adoption fee of $175. If you would like to apply to be a forever home for this cat, please fill out a statement of interest at www.alternativehumanesociety.com.
