His wonky, blind eye (from some kind of prior injury) makes him look older than he is ... best guess is in the 5 year old range, a stray who came in matted and in overall poor condition. He is friendly and talkative, but a quick warning that he has limits as to how much he wants to be handled. We're not recommending a home with children for him, but does enjoy peacefully living with other cats and hasn't been bothered with our cat-friendly dogs.
