A medium-haired, medium-gray male, Poi is a good-sized male. Although he looks like a tough guy, he’s really quite gentle, even on the timid side, though once he warms up to you he’s affectionate and likes to be “skritched” around his head. Poi is FIV+, but he is otherwise healthy. Although one of his eyes has scarring from an old injury, it doesn’t bother him and there’s no need to treat it (he still has vision in that eye).

Our best guess is that Poi was born early in 2004. But despite being fully adult, he still loves to play with toys. He has a most unusual meow: he’ll open his mouth and you’ll think he’s about to hiss, but instead out comes a very breathy, quiet little mew, definitely not what you expect from a cat of this size!

We know Poi isn’t suitable for every household, but with his good looks and gentle demeanor we’re confident that it’s just a matter of time until he’s adopted.
