When Cowardly Lion first arrived in his foster home, he lived up to his name and found a cozy hiding spot. But within just a few hours, his curiosity got the best of him, and he was out exploring—ready for pets and attention! Now fully settled in, Cowardly Lion has claimed his favorite lounging spots (though he insists that cat beds are not his style). He greets visitors with adorable chirping meows and enjoys socializing, but he’s also perfectly content to relax on his own. While toys don’t interest him much, he loves being brushed and will happily reposition himself to make sure you get every side! This easygoing guy has lived with both adults and children and is happy to accept head rubs from anyone—especially if food is involved. Just don’t offer him chicken pâté—it’s the one thing he turns his nose up at! Otherwise, he’s a tidy, well-mannered cat who always uses his litter box like a pro. If you're looking for a friendly, laid-back companion who will reward you with happy scrunchy-faced head rubs, Cowardly Lion is your guy! One big thing about me you should know is that I have Feline Immunodeficiency Virus but please don’t let that scare you away from adopting me!
