Last year, Patrick Dempsey was crowned People Magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive, and now in 2024, we’d like to introduce… the Patrick Dempsey of Palmetto Animal League! Lobos is a stunningly handsome rebel with paws kind of guy. 

“His dapper good looks and striking half tail are what you will notice first,” explains PAL Volunteer Lori Higgins. “But as you get to know him, you will learn that he is also very friendly and enjoys attention.”  

Often providing comical relief to staff, volunteers, and visitors at PAL, 2-year-old Lobos has been crowned as one of PAL’s “house cats,” which means he has full run of the Adoption Center. 

“He’s not only a house cat,” says PAL Development and Events Coordinator Sally McCoy. “He is also our certified cat tree tester! Anytime a cat tree is donated, Lobos has to be the first one to try it out. 

One may ask, how did a cat with such good looks and charisma end up at a shelter? Unfortunately, Lobos came to PAL in May of last year after his owner moved away and abandoned him.  

As the latest PAL heartthrob, celebrated for his good looks, Lobos knows how much the ladies love his fantastic hair and exactly how handsome he is!  

“He is a sweet boy, but all the love is on his terms,” explains McCoy.

Like most guys with that alluring bad boy charm, Lobos loves hard and plays even harder. While he does appreciate the company of other cats, his feline counterparts must be willing to participate in regular WWE level wrestling matches. 

“He’d love to be the king of your castle and not have to share his humans with other fur beings,” says Higgins. “Or at the very least, he’d love the position of “top cat.”

If you’d like to meet Lobos in all his fluffy, bad boy splendor, call PAL at 843-645-1725 or visit our adoption center located at 56 Riverwalk Blvd in Okatie Monday through Saturday from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m.
