Murphy can best be described as a very gentle giant; he's got big paws, a big purr, and huge heart to match! He's on the quiet side, and can be a bit shy when he first meets you, but we don't think there's anything wrong with taking a little time to scope out new people and situations. That's just plain smart! In no time at all, Murphy is curling up next to you on the sofa and begging to have his ears scratched. He'd do just fine as a single cat since he adores spending lazy days at the top of the cat tree. Once he's gotten to know new cats, he's happy to share his space with them, especially if they're mellow like him. In his foster home, Murphy has quickly become his foster mom's evening book reading buddy; he's the perfect companion! Murphy is neutered, microchipped, fully vaccinated, treated to prevent fleas and parasites, and tested negative for FeLV and FIV. He's estimated to be between 1 and 1 1/2 years old. There are only two things that upset Murphy's apple cart: dogs and active children. The high energy level of active kids and dogs are just too much for our Murphy, so we'll be looking for a family who shares his affection for the quieter side of life.
