Pulling on a cozy cardigan. Kicking off tight shoes and stepping into worn-in sneakers. Hearing the ding-ding of a trolley happily clacking toward the Neighborhood of Make-Believe. Mister Rogers is all of these comforting feelings in feline form.

But Mister Rogers is more than a cat; like his namesake, he’s bound to become a neighborhood icon. This sweet gentleman approaches life with curiosity and charm. Whether he’s birdwatching from a window perch, sitting politely nearby as you go about your day, or curling up beside you for a nap, Mister Rogers’s soothing presence makes everything feel okay. It doesn’t matter if you’re having a great day or a tough one; it’s always a beautiful day in his neighborhood.

With his serious expression, our Mister Rogers resembles Daniel Striped Tiger, Fred Rogers’s most beloved puppet. But Mister Rogers’s long whiskers curve upwards like a smile, revealing his true nature. His little nose even wrinkles up with joy when you give him cheek scritches in juuuuust the right spot.

As he is a kitty that is both FIV+ and FeLV+, Mister Rogers would need to be an only cat or live with other FeLV+ felines—we don’t think he’d mind either way! Mister Rogers has only one question: Please, won’t you be my neighbor?
