Pet of the Week: David Lettercat Ready for Late-Night Cuddles
By Staff Writer
Published on Fri, Aug 7, 2026
If you're looking for a funny guy who loves cozy afternoon naps and late-night cuddles, Long Beach Animal Care Services has the perfect feline friend waiting to meet you.
This week's Pet of the Week is David Lettercat, a sweet tabby who's been patiently waiting for the loving home he deserves. At 6 years old, David Lettercat is a mature and handsome fella with striking green eyes, soft striped fur and a gentle expression that hints at his laid-back and affectionate personality.
Though he may seem a little shy at first, once he knows he's safe, he's happiest soaking up cuddles, attention and quiet time with his favorite people.
While other cats have come and gone, David Lettercat has been patiently waiting for someone to choose him. Shelter staff describe him as curious, affectionate and easygoing—a cat who enjoys companionship and is always ready to curl up nearby for a relaxing evening (perhaps watching some late-night comedy).
He's hoping his next family will give him the chance to settle in, feel secure and finally call a place home. Help David Lettercat turn the page to his next chapter by visiting Long Beach Animal Care Services:
