Hey, all, it’s Schnickelfritz here. The cat, the myth, the legend. I am larger than life and I am looking for a person who can handle me being the most handsome, smartest, coolest and laziest dude in the house. With a little bit of CATtitude mixed in. I am BIG. Around 20 pounds. I don’t do a whole lot but just observing my magnificence will brighten your day.

I like to have my head scratched but I don’t want to be held. Nope. When I’ve had enough of you, I will let you know it. I was living in the big room at the shelter, the one that has all the free-roaming cats in it, and I got along with the cats. But I didn’t like strangers trying to pick me up. So now I’m stuck in a cage and I am way too awesome to be stuck in a cage.

If you want a partner with his own mind and not a little minion who will do your bidding, I am the cat for you. I’m not the cat for kiddos. But I am super cool for grownups who want a grownup cat-man. (By the way, I’m 8 years old). Meet me during the shelter’s open hours or by appointment on other days. Fill out our application at www.responsiblepetcare.org/cats to get preapproved.
