Hostas

Meet Hostas, a ridiculously cute tuxedo cat! He has the most unique white markings and tiny black “sleeves” that make it look like he’s wearing a sweater. And while his looks are certainly memorable, it’s his silly personality that really steals the show.

Hostas came to us as an undersocialized kitten from a shelter in New York City, and he has been working hard with our behavior team to learn just how wonderful people can be. These days, he’s becoming quite the social little guy, and he has discovered that it’s pretty great to hang out with people.

Hostas loves curling up on the chest of some of his favorite people! He’s perfectly content to keep them company while they work, often settling in behind them in their office chair like the tiniest coworker. When he’s feeling especially social, he’ll come right out to ask for pets and rubs, purring, leaning into attention, flopping over and showing off his belly.

Hostas is a very silly guy. He loves to play, gets especially excited about wand toys and has a knack for turning even a normal interaction into something entertaining. He may start out a little unsure with someone new, but give him some time to check you out and he may surprise you by coming over for pets all on his own.

Transitions can be a little hard for Hostas, so his new family should be prepared to give him some patience and time as he adjusts to a new home and new people. Once he feels comfortable, though, his sweet and silly personality really starts to shine.

Hostas has made such a sweet transformation during his time with us, and we can’t wait to see him continue that journey with his own people. If you’re looking for a playful, quirky companion who might decide your chest — or your office chair — is his favorite place to be, Hostas could be your guy.
