Bear may be on the older side but that does not slow him down one bit. He is very sweet and loving with everyone (especially kids) and would do great in a loving home environment. He is perfectly healthy for his age and has lots of years left of love in him. He would love to cuddle up next to you in bed and take a nice long nap. He has not been around many dogs but with good dogs he should do just fine! He can be a little bit of a pushover when it comes to other cats, but he does not mind them at.
