Once upon a time in sunny Irvine there roamed a magnificent chocolate-and-caramel-brown tabby cat named Freddy. His bold stripes and mesmerizing eyes told of ancient adventures and held the wisdom of moonlit nights. His origins were shrouded in mystery (a seasoned explorer? a forgotten prince?), but one fateful day as the sun dipped low, Freddy was noticed by kind-hearted humans who spoke to him of warm beds, endless toys, being petted in all his favorite places, and delicious food and treats that would never end. Freddy knew it was time to find a forever family to give all his love, and soon his days were filled with curiosity, new feline foster friends, and interesting humans. He was now in Rescue House foster care on his way to becoming a beloved companion.

Freddy has a magnetic personality, striking looks, and he relishes the simple joys in life: a cozy bed, sun-drenched floors, and gentle pets by humans. He'll curl up beside you: just imagine the warmth of his presence and the gentle rumble of his purr on a chilly night! While he prefers to keep his paws under his own control, he'll readily hang out with you on the couch and follow you to the kitchen when he wants something to eat. He lets you brush him for a couple of minutes at a time, and will just push your hand away when he deems his fur groomed enough for now. Freddy likes to chase and pounce on toys, and his favorites are the battery-operated ones that have unpredictable moves. It's also fun for him to lie on his back and play with dangly string toys! Freddy has been diagnosed with hyperthyroidism, which is an overactive thyroid gland; happily, with a consistent twice-daily medication, it is easy to manage! He currently is thrilled to lap up his pill in a Churu treat and is stable and doing well, though there are other long-term options that can be explored.

Freddy is very calm and seems to do well with all cats and respectful humans of assorted ages. We haven't seen him around dogs. Even though he is a big boy and thus the largest of the cats in his foster home, he remained the gentlest.

Freddy is not just a cat: he is a whispered promise of companionship. He longs for a stable home and sanctuary where he can watch the world unfold and share his mystical secrets with someone who will listen. This feline confidant will help you write new chapters in the book of life and share a celestial bond... an invitation to dance with the moon and unravel the mysteries hidden within his stripes. Will you let Freddy weave his magic into your days and nights?
