Q-TIP♂

About

My name is Q-Tip and I am a white & org tabby domestic shorthair. I am a neutered male and I am 3 years old. I am here because I was given up by my owner on 06/23/2026. They were my family for 3 years. I was always a bit of a bully to the other cats in the home, but when my family and I moved, I started guarding the food and litter boxes and chasing the other cats. My family worked with me for a while, but was unable to help me reintegrate into the cat clan. I can be good with men and women. I do not have any experience with children yet. I can be good with cat-savvy dogs, but hyper/super active dogs make me nervous. While I've lived with other cats before, I probably should not try to live with another one for the time being. Most of my issues were with the male cats in the home, so I may be okay to have a sister once I'm settled in and comfortable again in my environment. I am used to being an indoors cat with no access to the outdoors. I am a good kitty who uses the litterbox! I am a medium energy cat and I can live with an owner with no prior pet owning experience. My family said: `Q-Tip loves to snuggle, curl up in blankets, and chase lasers/light reflections. He will play fetch with plastic spring toys and small fabric toy balls.` I would be a lot of fun for someone who wants a handsome, playful guy in the home!
