– What an amazing cat – he loves to sit on your lap and will follow you around like a puppy dog

– He would rather drink from the faucet than the water bowl (but will drink from his bowl)!

– Loves to be petted and brushed – he welcomes any affection given to him

– When feeling playful likes catnip toys

– Stressed around other cats, so he may be happiest as your one and only

– Has lived with kids

– This cat is likely in kidney failure, based urine specific gravity and blood work we ran. He is currently eating Hills Science Diet K/D, which is a special kidney diet. Animals in kidney failure may need additional diagnostics or medications throughout life at adopters’ cost. Kidney failure is a progressive disease and will worsen over time. Many animals can have good quality of life for years with proper therapy, though it is impossible to predict how the disease will progress. Please consult your veterinarian prior to adoption.
