I am Looking For: My loving forever family! Hi! I'm Ernie, and I am a cute little guy! I won't ask for much- just some love, cuddles and lots of toys so I can run and play and be myself.
What the Shelter Says About Me: Ernie is an unusual boy with a bob tail and a spotted front right arm. We think his bob tail is natural since his brother (Ely) also has a shorter tail. When Ernie first came into our rescue's care, he was standoffish to strangers and lept off our photo table. We thought he was more shy than his two siblings but given a few weeks to warm up, Earnie became the condo doorman - greeting us and inviting petting. (There is a sibling like that in every family, right, a little slower to dive in and more studious about situations.) While he doesn't ask to be picked up, Ernie is ok with it and will reciprocate your pats with head bumps and rolling over and over inviting more. He said ok to modeling for photos and this is what we got. Ernie says he just needs time to make his own decisions...don't we all!
What My Foster Says About Me: Ernie is shy only at first, and while he prefers to settle in to new surroundings slowly, once he feels safe, he will give you the world. His happy, excited energy will make you laugh, and he'll be the best shoulder or calf warmer when it's time to snuggle up to sleep. He can be laid back, and is game to participate in any activity you're doing, just because he likes you and wants to be around you. His playful quirkiness coupled with his bob tail and unique dusty orange left arm sleeve means that not only does he play like a puppy, but when he walks, he strongly resembles a small Doberman pinscher. He's the most dog- like cat his foster mom has ever met! Given his intelligence and his activity level, Ernie would probably be happiest in a home that can provide him active fur siblings (as opposed to highly sensitive, obstinate fur siblings, who don't really enjoy his vibe), or simply lots of attention. Come meet him at one of Lucky Dog's events, he can't wait to see you!
