My story

　　Hi! My name is Podiki! That means “mouse” in Greek. I’m a small, cute, light grey tabby, a bit shy, and have an adorable squeaky meow. In my mind, though, I’m a fierce lion who loves to play with my cat dancer, chase paper balls, and chatter at birds outside the window. I’m a male, about 6 months old, and was rescued from a life on the street with my siblings, so I’m a little skittish at first, but I’m getting braver and braver every day. Now I love to purr and get cheek scratches and pets, ideally while enjoying a Churu or other tube treat. I'll even climb into your lap! I’m super energetic and playful and like to follow people around the house to see what they’re up to, but then sometimes retreat to a cozy chair or my secret spot under the stairs for a nap. I’m not sure how well I would get along with kids or other pets, but I’ve been super adaptable in my foster home. I would love to find a forever home with a human or humans who will play with me and look forward to watching me come out of my shell to be your best friend. I'd love to make you fall in love with me!
