Mattise is a beautiful Turkish Van mix with a luscious coat and a gorgeous plume of a tail. He's so handsome! And he's got a personality to match. He's affectionate and sweet and very gentle. He's calm and loves his downtime, just like all kitties, but when the feather wand toy comes out, he snaps into action and becomes the youthful, playful boy that he is. Bird watching is another one of his favorite past times. And he's very engaged. He'll want to be with you all the time, and will meow if you lock him out of the room. He loves his humans so much! Matisse was found as an abandoned cat on the mean streets of south LA, so dirty you couldn't tell he was white, almost starved to death. He was sad and depressed and ready to give up, when a good Samaritan found him and got him to safety. After a few baths, revealing the rich white coat that lay beneath all that dirt, and some healthy meals and love and attention, this lovely cat blossomed and regained his joie de vivre. Now he's ready for his forever home, where he'll live a life of comfort and happiness and shower his human with never ending purrs and cuddles. Will you be the lucky one? This cat does not like other cats and needs to be the only cat in the home. Please contact the foster at susan@craigrecords.com
