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: the sweet, well-mannered, and delightfully chonky Shaquille O’Neal.
This handsome gentleman sports striking blue eyes, a gorgeous chocolate-point coat, and a delightfully CHONKY physique that makes him impossible not to adore. Shaq is the definition of a tender soul. While he can be a little shy at first and may retreat when things get loud or hectic, once he feels comfortable, you’ll discover a cat with the sweetest manners.
Instead of demanding attention, Shaq politely lets you know he’d like to join you with the tiniest little chirp, like he’s saying, “Excuse me, would there happen to be room for one large fella on the couch?” Shaq is perfectly content to settle in beside you while you read the morning paper, watch TV, work from home, or enjoy your breakfast. He appreciates the occasional scritch, but he’s not a clingy cat. He’s the ideal roommate.
Shaq would thrive in a quieter home where he can relax and be his gentle, thoughtful self. He could do well with respectful children who understand that he likes a little personal space, though he’d likely be delighted to attend a stuffed animal tea party. If you’ve been searching for a calm, sweet companion who will steal your heart one tiny chirp at a time, Shaq is ready to make his own little divot on the sofa.
