He is loving and even tempered and doesn't scare easily. Very easy going. Will sit on lap and sleep in bed and likes to play. He is also gray. Neutered male a little fat though.

No, no guys. You got it all wrong. I actually want to adopt someone who mightbe less likely to be adopted. I specifically avoided the kittens because I know everyone is a sucker for them.

OK editing my response since I thought you were getting rid of one! Adult cats are definitely harder to adopt out - BUT they make wonderful pets. You already know what they're going to look like, you already can tell what their personality will be like. I have two cats that I recently adopted - both adults and both Persians. The first one, Percy, was 2 1/2 when I adopted him last year and Spooky, who I adopted this past Feb, is 5. These are by far the sweetest cats I've ever had. And they both adapted VERY quickly to the other pets in my home - which includes a very big dog, another cat and several ferrets.
Good for you for wanting to give an adult kitty a home. You definitely won't be disappointed!! And sorry for my initial kneejerk reply when I thought you were dumping one! But how do you know this dog likes to sleep in your bed if he's still at a shelter????

Why is this poor guy in need of adoption? He sounds like a sweatheart but unfortunately his chances of being adopted aren't very good. I've read that less than half of all cats who wind up in shelters ever find homes.
Even small, healthy kittens are losing thier lives because there aren't enough ppl willing or able to adopt & the shelters have limited space & resources.
That said, one of our cats was roughly 4 yrs old (shelter's best guess) when we adopted him so it does happen but in the interest of honesty, it doesn't happen often.

Not as likely as a kitten but if you give it 2 a no-kill animal shelter a lot of people go there so you will probably have a better chance at getting it adopted!

He can change when put into a shelter enviorement. I answered you below thinking you were looking to adopt. As far as giving yourf cat to a shelter, I wouldn't give it a 50% chance. I hope you can find another way

someone will want him ... though, he's not a kitten ... could take a lot longer than w/ kittens. be sure to take him to a no kill shelter or a vet clinic.
