Adorable Troublemaker Cat Casanova Seeks To Charm His Way Into Forever Home
Cats can be natural swooners. They use their fluffy faces and silly antics to persuade people for pets, rubs, and chances for love – and no cat embodies this like the cat named Casanova.
Casanova's origins take him back to the rolling hills of West Virginia, where he was surrendered to the Greenbrier Human Society (GHS) after his owner took on too many cats – an unfortunate familiar tale in rural areas. It isn't easy to re-home cats in sparsely-populated areas, and cats haven't figured out how to utilize public transportation efficiently…yet. Regardless, there are rescue and foster nonprofits that thrive on helping cats find a forever home.

Meow Stories, a cat rescue operation based in Virginia, has been working to re-home cats under the care of GHS for over four years. Luckily, Casanova, the affectionate, fun-loving five-year-old cat, was one of the 80 percent of GHS's felines Kate and Louis Balow take every year. Now, he's in the big city looking for a family that will place their attention and love on him.

"He knows no stranger," Kate said. "He's still got the temperament of a kitten."
Fortunately, Casanova has the energy to fill up any household willing to take him in. Considering he's what some would call a more mature cat, and people are more wanting of cute kitties these days.

"There are so many kittens right now that these great cats with these great personalities get overlooked," Kate explained.
Nevertheless, cats like Casanova—those that love climbing up your leg to get their fill of shoulder hugs—have enlightening, complex personas that allow cat parents to learn more about the facets of love. They are also seen by others to acclimate quicker to home life and have less need for consistent monitoring. Casanova has no need for constant monitoring as he will be trotting in and out between your legs whenever he sees you.

Whenever he meets a new person, Kate said, he "rolls over like 'Hey, I'm here; come play with me.'" Once someone thinks he's had enough pets and rubs, the aptly-named Casanova will always playfully claw at you to coax more love.
"He would definitely crash zoom meetings," Kate said. But she also spoke that Casanova wants to play above all.
"He needs a home with kids. He needs to be able to play with kids. He wants attention, love, and to be able to play with somebody," she explained.

Casanova also has extra assurance from Meow Stories if the first few weeks of adoption don't go perfectly planned. The rescue group offers a two-week, no-questions-asked return and refund of the adoption fee, so cats like Casanova are re-home in a well-fitting place. Kate even illustrated that if a new owner has allergies, they will send them to their rescue vet for any exam or medication needed.

Kate and Louis, along with all the volunteers for Meow Stories, don't want anything to stand in the way of Casanova or any of the thousands of other cats she and her husband re-home from getting the love he needs. "I stand behind all my cats," she said, further promising that Casanova and other cats can "maintain their forever homes regardless of costs."
