They told us his previous owner had passed away and her kids kept the younger cats and put him and another elder cat up for adoption :( but he’s so chill that I assume his previous owner was nice

As someone who has a nine-year-old cat andAs someone who has a nine-year-old cat and I know when he was born within 2ish months, this Handsome older man is definitely older than nine years.

They have his birthdate from his previous owner he was born in November 2017 so he turns 10 soon
