Hi, I’m Speedy. And yes, I’m as wonderful as my photos make me look. 
I’m 9-ish years old, although my exact age is a bit of a mystery. I came with my name when I was adopted as an adult back in 2017, and nobody ever saw a reason to change it. I guess I’ve always just been Speedy. 
Let me tell you a little about myself.
I am VERY kind! I don’t scratch. I don’t bite. I’m not mean. I have not one bad bone in my body.
I LOVE people.
I LOVE kids.
I love attention.
Actually… I really, really love attention.
I’m the kind of cat who wants to be where the people are. I give kisses. I’ll groom you. I’ll sleep at the foot of your bed. And once I decide you’re my person, I’m pretty much all in.
I’m also very tolerant of other animals. I can live with dogs—even puppies! I may not want to play with them, but once I’m comfortable, I’m perfectly happy sleeping next to them and cuddling. If a dog gets a little too close to my personal space, I might give a little warning pat. But I’m not vicious, and I’m not looking to hurt anybody.
Other cats? No problem. Once I get to know them, I might even groom them. 
And apparently, I’m pretty smart, too.
I can solve treat puzzles, and I kinda know how to give paw. 
I’ve even figured out how to break into a bread box and move free weights around so I could slide open doors. What can I say? I’m an excellent problem solver.
I’m still active and playful like a much younger cat, but I’m also perfectly happy snuggling up with you.
I’m even a gentleman at bath time and nail-trimming time. Yes, really. You can bathe me AND trim my nails. I told you I was special. 
There is one thing I really, really need in my next home: lots of love and attention.
My family loves me very much, but they’ve realized they just aren’t able to give me as much attention and interaction as I need. And as much as it hurts, they want me to have the life I deserve.
So I’m hoping for a home where someone wants a cat who is truly part of the family.
Maybe that’s a lively home with kids.
Maybe it’s someone who wants a companion to share adventures with.
Maybe it’s a family with other pets.
Or maybe it’s simply someone who wants a sweet, affectionate cat who will follow them around, give them kisses, and curl up at the end of their bed.
That’s me. I’m Speedy. And I have a LOT of love to give.
One important thing about me: I eat a urinary-health formulated food (Science Diet Urinary Care, an over-the-counter formula). I had urinary crystals once a long time ago, and they resolved after my food was changed. I’ve had no problems since, but my family has wisely kept me on urinary-health food ever since.
So… what do you say?
Could you be the person who gives me the love, attention, and happily-ever-after I’ve been waiting for?
I’m ready to meet you!
