Panther Domestic Medium Hair Mix Williamsport, PA

Everyone has a soft spot for Panther. As they clean the cat pens, our volunteers like to let him free roam around the cat room. They talk to him, pet him, and simply enjoy his handsome, quiet presence. Panther soaks it all in with his unique Panther charm.

Panther has been to the shelter twice in the last year or so. He lived with his first family for the first 8 years of life. The family moved and was unable to take him along, so they surrendered him to the shelter. Shelter life had the poor gentleman quite confused and scared for awhile, but he came around with love and attention and was adopted out. About one year later, his new family re-surrendered him. They were expecting a baby and were concerned with handling the poo that would occasionally be outside of his litterbox.

So, sweet Panther is back here again. While shelter life is a safe and loving space, it is no substitute for the warmth of a home environment. Panther is longing for a cozy couch to sleep on again and a home to stretch his legs. A large, beefy man to begin with, he came back quite overweight and needs a home, not a pen, where he can stretch his legs and exercise.

Panther's previous owners described him as "quiet and reserved." Indeed, here at the shelter, he enjoys lounging about and soaking in the attention. He will occasionally get up and rub on our legs and hands, but soon he is sprawled out back on the floor, purring and content to be in our presence. He appreciates the quieter, slower things in life, and thus we recommend that his ideal home be an adults-only household.

Whether it is his pointy nose and soft, rich, black fur, or simply the way he looks at you, Panther is a guy that everyone adores. While we all love him, it is a new forever family that he is dreaming of. If you are looking for a genteel, older stud muffin, consider Panther. You will truly change his life for the better! What could be more rewarding than that?

Panther is ready and waiting in Display 2 of our Cat Room.
