Meet Scholar, a charming young male kitty with a laid-back personality thatโ€™s perfect for any loving home. This affectionate feline loves cuddles, being picked up, and even ENJOYS having his belly rubbedโ€”truly a gentleman and a scholar! He's got a big head and a big heart; and constantly purrs for his people. He's not much for toys, but keeps a constant curious yet vigilant watch for all of life's goings on. Scholar gets along well with other cats, kids and dogs, making him a wonderful addition to any family looking for a friendly and adaptable companion. Come meet Scholar and give him the loving home he deserves! Come visit him in our Cat Adoption Room!

Scholar also happens to be a recipient of our non-profit partner, Friends of Staunton Augusta Waynesboro Animal Shelter because he came in with a wee toe injury! Donations towards FOSAWAS benefit outstanding medical cases like sweet Scholar to assist with vetting and ultimately find them their forever homes!
