—

– Extremely friendly cat who welcomes lots of attention

– He adores snuggles and has no understanding of human personal space – so be prepared to receive lots of love from this big guy!

– Really enjoys looking out the window at all of the outside activities and wildlife, so he will appreciate a tall cat tree in his new home

– His favorite snacks are freeze-dried chicken treats

– Is living with a calm cat in his foster home, and doing well with him, so we feel he may do well with a feline friend, or just as happy being the only cat in his new home

– This cat has been diagnosed with Pica (Pica involves the ingestion of non-food items). Please email Mary at the email address above for more information and questions about this diagnosis.

– Fred has been doing very good about not eating non-food items in his foster home

– Due to this diagnosis, Fred is currently taking a medication called Fluoxetine. His adopter will need to follow up with their primary veterinarian regarding weaning him off once he has settled into his new home.
