Meet “Luca”

Luca is ridiculously cool 😎, super outgoing 🐾, and as sweet as he is handsome—basically, a perfect house panther 🖤. And he’s huge (seriously, the photos don’t do him justice)! His sleek, medium-length coat (which may go full-on majestic fluff mode now that he’s an indoor-only boy 🏡) and long, floofy tail are perfectly complemented by his round ex-tomcat face, strong shoulders, massive gentle paws, and those deep, contemplative amber eyes 👀✨. If you had your heart set on adopting Cole, well, Luca might as well be his long-lost brother!

At around 1–2 years old, Luca showed up at the right doorstep 🚪, begging for food 🍗. He had no interest in wooing the ladies 💁‍♀️🐱 or getting into brawls with the other tomcats 🥊—he just wanted inside. Since that wasn’t an option right away, he happily settled into the cozy outdoor kitty house 🏠 a kind human set up for him. Given his impressive size, it took her a minute to work up the courage to give him a pet—and surprise, he loved it! 💕

Luca is great with his foster’s other two cats 🐈🐈 and isn’t fazed by men. He does get a little overstimulated with too much brushing or excessive petting all at once. His way of saying, “That’s enough, thanks,” is to gently hold your hand in his mouth—no biting down, just a polite little reminder 🐾🖐️. Oh, and about that favorite kitty bed of his… let’s just say he really loved it before his neuter 🙈. Like, really loved it. And he preferred an audience (we’re not judging, Luca) 😂. Now that he’s been neutered, that behavior should fade with time, along with his occasional overstimulation.

For now, Luca would do best in a home without kids under 10 👶🚫, just to give him space while he fully settles into domesticated life. He’s a one-of-a-kind, extra-large, extra-handsome house panther 🖤, and he’s ready for his forever home—INDOOR ONLY 🏡❗

Luca is neutered, vaccinated, flea-treated, de-wormed, and NEGATIVE for both feline AIDS and leukemia. He’s also great with his litter box!  He has never been introduced to dogs so that would have to be managed carefully during a trial adoption.

Located in San Diego, we would love for the purrfect home to take him on a trial adoption (you will fall in love) 🏠. Adoption fee is $45 but he will come with his favorite bed (the bed is a must). Contact us at 858-883-4222 to arrange a meeting 🐾❤️. For more details, visit JoannesFurryFriends.com.#joannesfurryfriends https://joannesfurryfriends.com
