Butter Bean, or BB, is a chipper, young, light blonde tabby who appeared at someone's stoop in Bay Ridge a couple of months previous to his rescue, where he was being fed by a local good samaritan. It was clear to the rescuer that BB was a friendly, social guy and was vulnerable on the busy avenue as he had a habit of coming out to greet the passersby waiting for the bus by rubbing against their legs. Since he's been in foster he has proven to be affectionate and good natured. At home he looks for a lot of attention and loves to come sit on your lap and soak up as much love and pets as you can give. Just about a year old, BB still has tons of kitten energy and will greet you at the door when you arrive and excitedly follow you around chatting happily about his day. Eventually he does settle down, once he feels he has had his fill, but his humans should be prepared to routinely shower him with the love he clearly deserves. He does get insecure around feeding time, likely from his time on the street and the uncertainty about where his next meal is coming from, but that should settle in time as he comes to feel he has found a loving home where he will be cared for and fed consistently. You may notice the cloudiness in his right eye (though he can see out of it, likely the result of an injury after he was abandoned. He does OK with other cats, he can take them or leave them, but can be bullying with the shyer ones, so it's best, likely, he be paired with another alpha cat who isn't going to be easily intimidated by his rough housing at times. He can also go as a single, as the main focus of his attention and devotion, clearly, are his human keepers. An absolute love bug, looking to adore and be adored. BB is FIV and FeLV negative, neutered, and up to date on shots. Email [email protected] to apply!
