Milwaukee Record is working in partnership with Urban Cat Coalition to help find loving homes for area cats. Each week, we—with generous sponsorship from Skilos, A Family Pet Store—plan to highlight a feline friend that’s currently up for adoption by naming it “Milwaukee Record’s Cat Of The Week.” This week: an energetic and affectionate little guy known as Sassafras.
Sassafras is pure kitten chaos. He will play with anything. Toys, springs, paper, your phone, your shoelaces, a suspicious-looking speck on the wall…all fair game. Nibbling, jumping, and pouncing are what he does to relax.
But underneath all that energy is a genuinely sweet, affectionate guy. He loves attention, seeks out people, and has a soft spot for morning pets when he’s still a little sleepy and extra cuddly. He’ll happily sit on your lap, accept some chin scratches, and recharge before his next round of whatever he has planned.
Sassafras would thrive in a home that can keep up with him. He would do best in a home with other playful pets who won’t mind getting bowled over during a high speed chase.
If you’re looking for a calm, chill cat… keep scrolling. If you’re looking for a hilarious, affectionate, slightly unhinged friend who will keep life interesting, he just may be your guy. Sassafras is currently being fostered with many also adoptable siblings if you are interested in a built-in pair.
