Alfie is a terrific pet, with lots of personality and a huge amount of love to give to his new family. One of Angels Among Us Pet Rescue's volunteers took him in after a neighbor reported that Alfie's owner had moved away and left him behind.
The neighbor was not able to keep Alfie herself (allergies), and was desperate to find someone to take him in so that she didn’t have to take him to her county’s animal shelter (where less than 25 percent of cats make it out … and most of those are kittens). So the Angels volunteer agreed to foster him until a “forever home” could be found. (The group has taken care of all his vet work, including testing for disease, neutering, vaccinating, and microchipping.)
Alfie is about 1 1/2 years old. He is a beautiful cat, and his photos just don’t do him justice. He has sleek fur with really interesting patterns of swirling brown and gray, offset by white markings. He’s an athletic cat, and guys seem to particularly like him.

Alfie is a cat who will make his presence known in his new home. He’s chockfull of personality and is 100 percent a “people” cat. (In fact, some would say he’s a bit like a little dog!) Alfie is a big talker and will let you know how he feels about things. He love to play, and often acts like a big overgrown kitten. What could be better?
Alfie’s foster home includes dogs, and he tolerates them well. His interactions with other cats is a little mixed: He does fine with several of them (generally the younger ones), but can be a bit of a bully with others. He would probably be fine as an only cat.

Although Alfie adores attention, Angels Rescue volunteers think he has been mistreated in the past. We have learned not to quickly reach for his head to pet him, because in those instances he cringes. He is getting much better about this as he learns no one is now going to be rough with him, and loves to be held and fussed over. He’s a great “buddy cat” to hang out with, and likes being a little couch potato with you when you’re watching TV or reading.
Alfie is a very tidy cat and good about using his litter box and scratching post.
