Hi there, my name is Hakeem!
My journey to Pet Angel was a little unexpected! I came to the rescue as an emergency placement when my former owner needed to seek mental health help. She loved me very much and didn't want to leave without making sure I had somewhere safe to go. Pet Angel saw her post on Facebook and offered to help! After spending a night with one kind lady and being transported to the rescue by another, I finally arrived at Pet Angel. It was a lot of changes in a short amount of time, and honestly, I wasn't very happy about it!
You see, I've been a single cat my entire life. Suddenly, I was surrounded by unfamiliar cats, smells, and sounds, and it was all a little overwhelming! I needed more time than some of the other kitties to feel comfortable, but Pet Angel was patient with me and let me adjust at my own pace. Slowly, I began letting my guard down, stopped being afraid of everyone, and started venturing out of my cage. I even made a special friendship with one of the volunteers! Before long, I had settled into rescue life and was feeling much more like myself. I still prefer to be the only pet in the home, but Pet Angel makes sure I have my own space away from the other cats, and I'm perfectly happy with that arrangement!
Now that I'm fully vetted, settled in, and feeling confident, I'm officially ready to find my forever home!
Now, there's something VERY important you should know about me... I come with a best friend, and her name is Meekah!
Meekah is my beloved stuffed cow, and she's been with me since my former home. Her name is actually Hakeem spelled backwards! I have always loved her, and that certainly hasn't changed since coming to Pet Angel. In fact, I'm pretty sure everyone here knows just how much she means to me! I carry her around in my mouth, use her as a pillow when I nap, and wrap my paws around her when it's time to snuggle. You'll often find me curled up with my Meekah, keeping her close wherever I go. I'm not just a kitty who enjoys having a stuffed animal around. Meekah is my comfort, my companion, and a very important part of my little world.
So, when you adopt me, you're getting TWO best friends! I'm hoping to find a family who will welcome Meekah right along with me and understand that she's not optional. We are a package deal, and I wouldn't have it any other way!
Aside from my love for Meekah, I have plenty of other things that make me happy! I enjoy lounging in my fluffy cat beds, and I LOOOOOVE Yeowww catnip toys! I toss them around, kick them, and play with them like the silly boy I am. I'm also a BIG fan of wet food and treats. My absolute favorite is Churu! The volunteers call them "cat go-gurts," and I'm completely obsessed. I'll happily lick one right out of the tube!
I'm an active, playful boy who enjoys toys, the occasional case of the zoomies, and having fun, but I'm not the kind of kitty who's going to be climbing your curtains! I'm also a sweetheart who would love to spend quiet evenings sitting on your lap while you watch your favorite shows. I enjoyed being close to my former owner, and I would love to have that kind of companionship again. At my former home, I loved playing with wand toys, watching birds through the window, and curling up in bed with my person at night. I was perfectly content entertaining myself while she was at work, and I always looked forward to having her home again.
I do think my transition into your home will be much easier than my transition into Pet Angel! For starters, I won't be shuffled between multiple people and places. I'll be going straight from the rescue to my new home. Even better, I'll be going somewhere without other pets, which means I won't have to adjust to sharing my space with unfamiliar animals. I'll still need a few days to decompress in my own room when I first arrive, just like any kitty would, but with a little patience and a comfortable space of my own, I know I can settle in and start showing you what a wonderful companion I can be!
A little more about what I'm looking for in my forever home:
I'm looking for a strictly indoor-only home with NO other pets. I don't enjoy the company of other cats or dogs, and I really do prefer being the only animal in the household. I would also do well with children over the age of 12. My ideal family will be patient with me as I settle in, give me time to feel comfortable, and, of course, welcome my beloved Meekah as an official member of the family!
As far as my vetting goes, I've got everything taken care of! I'm neutered, microchipped, up to date on all my vaccinations, and have tested negative for FIV/FeLV. Pet Angel even has ALL of my veterinary records dating back to when I was a baby, so my new family will receive my complete medical history!
My journey to Pet Angel wasn't exactly what I would have chosen for myself, but I'm so grateful for the people who helped me along the way. I've had time to settle in, rediscover my confidence, and show everyone here what a sweet, playful, and loving boy I am. Now, I'm ready for my next chapter!
Could you be the person I've been waiting for? And do you have room in your heart for a boy AND his stuffed cow? Meekah and I can't wait to meet you!
