　　"Hi, I'm Bates! I'm 9 years, 1 month old (10/12). I'm a sleek black Siamese mix!"

　　This guy cracks us up! He's the quirkiest of the quirky. Bates will meow at the top of his lungs to gain your attention. If you ignore him, he will follow you around and hop onto the nearest surface to hound you. Keep in mind that he will head-butt and even playfully nip to make you pay attention to him. By this time, he really wants you to pet him. But sometimes Bates will suddenly change his mind and bolt to the farthest corner of the room! We're sometimes left standing there and asking what that was all about! This is pretty much a game to him. Bates will usually stroll back towards us to tell us he isn't done with us yet. He's very forgiving - or forgetful! He's a very lazy, laid-back guy with quirky moments!

　　If he settles in to a new home with a new family, his trust can build up to where his flakiness and initial shyness will quickly fade. Bates has never had a home, so he doesn't know what a family environment feels like. He just might have too much competition at our adoption center to be able to form a bond with most volunteers. Bates will be perfect for a family who is looking for an independent and friendly guy! Bates has always been surrounded by other cats but he has never seen a dog before. If you're interested in a very precocious and playful fella, please meet Bates at our cat adoption center!!

　　Negative for FIV/ FeLK, current on vaccinations and has been neutered.

　　Our adoption fee is $75, a fee to help offset vet and general care expenses. Our adoptable animals have routine vet visits, and are as healthy as possible as soon as they are in our care. Vet records are provided to adopters. Read up on our adoption process . Then, if you feel your home might be the right forever home and you would like to adopt this cat, submit an online application form.
