Great news: you can stop scrolling—you’ve found the perfect cat! Say hello to Gouda! Gouda came to his foster parents from the streets of El Sereno, but don’t let his rough start fool you: this big floofy boy is a total lover. Gouda is a squeaker and a squawker who (mostly) patiently waits on his perch for breakfast, sharing encouraging little squawks with his foster mom. If you talk back to him, he’ll happily keep the conversation going, and his lovely green gaze could melt even the hardest of hearts. Gouda will do just about anything for a treat (creamy Churu, anyone?). He’ll even offer up his tootsies for a nail trim if it means an extra snack. He may look more like a wild creature than a house cat, but he is deeply committed to his comfy indoor life with his people and foster siblings. And while he’s a full-grown cat, make no mistake—Gouda loves to play. He scrabbles around chasing toys, zooming through the house, and wrestling with his foster brother and best buddy Top Banana (KRLA-A-85329), who is also available for adoption. One of Gouda’s sweetest qualities is how much he adores the babies. He can often be found snuggled up with one (or two… or three!) little foster kittens, happily grooming them, keeping them warm, and soaking up their tiny cuddles. He is a gentle, comforting presence for the youngsters and takes his role as “big floofy uncle” very seriously. After a day of playing and supervising his kitten crew, Gouda will happily flop beside you on the sofa and grumble his way to sleep. He has made himself quite at home and loves to lounge luxuriously, soaking up pets, chin scritches, and belly rubs. Gouda “loves the ladies” and does best with female cats or younger males. He likes to be the big man of the house and can feel a bit threatened by other large adult male cats, so a home that suits his preferences will help him thrive. Now that you’ve found this truly Gouda-est boy, please reach out to his foster family at elserenocats@gmail.com. You won’t regret opening your heart and home to one of the most lovable, talkative, and entertaining cats around.
