Pumpkin, a “vivacious, extremely energetic, social and affectionate,” eight-year-old male cat, is looking for a forever home.

“Pumpkin is a cat who wants to be on your lap,” Toronto Humane Society spokesman Hannah Sotropa said of the feline currently making his home at THS.

“He is definitely the pure definition of a lap cat. He will give you attention constantly. He is a purr machine. You’ll always hear his little motor going. He comes right to the front to greet you. He gives you a huge welcoming party and he’s very much a companion.”

The friendly, domestic, medium-length hair, orange and white coloured Pumpkin, who was surrendered by her previous owner to the THS a month ago, does have a condition — but it is manageable.

It’s called FLUTD (Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease), and Pumpkin has had his urinary system unblocked by the THS a few times.

“It’s good to note for the future adopters, a good preventative is to keep his water intake high,” said Sotropa.
