Spock

Description

Located in North Bethesda, Maryland Meet Spock, a handsome Maine Coon mix who came to the rescue as an owner surrender. Spock is a sweet, affectionate boy who forms strong bonds with his people. He is very shy with new people and new environments and may spend his first few days hiding while he adjusts. He thrives on a consistent routine, and once he feels safe, he becomes a loyal companion who loves following his person around, soaking up pets, and sleeping in bed with them at night. Spock is a vocal, social cat with a BIG personality—and one adorable quirk is that he wags his tail like a dog! He loves attention and being near his people. Brushing isn't his favorite, but he'll happily tolerate it with a few treats. He also isn't a fan of being picked up or having his nails trimmed. This playful boy does best with larger, confident male cats who can match his rough-and-tumble play style. He got along very well with an older male cat and also did great with dogs. However, he can be too intense for smaller or timid cats, especially female littermates, as he may chase, corner, or taunt them during play. Because of this, we recommend a home with either no other cats or only confident, assertive male cats who can handle his energetic personality. Spock can sometimes get overexcited during playtime and may accidentally scratch, so he would do best with adopters who understand cat behavior and can help redirect rough play appropriately. If you're looking for a fluffy, talkative companion who just needs a little time to come out of his shell, Spock may be your perfect match! Note: There is a history of urination in undesirable places before surrender, and since he's been in rescue, he's urinated twice in undesirable places.
