Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Henry was rescued from a local kill shelter where he was brought in as a stray. He was young (vet aged at two years) and already neutered, not to mention very sweet, so he had to have had a home at one time, yet no one came to claim him. The shelter was full of kittens and Henry needed to get out so he entered the Furry Friends foster/adoption program. Shortly after entering foster care he became ill with an upper respiratory infection. However, he is over it now and ready to go to his new forever home. Henry is a bit on the shy side until he acclimates, but he is super sweet and affectionate once he knows he is safe. He gets along great with kids and cats. Henry was adopted out and returned for not getting along with the dog; however, he was a snuggle bug with the family (including four kids - ages 7 and up). He slept with his family and let them give him baths without complaint and was nothing but a lover boy with the humans in the family. He has no issues with the dog in his foster home. If a big handsome classic tabby boy can slide in as your next forever family member, please fill out an application and adopt Henry today!
HENRY UPDATE: Poor Henry was adopted and returned yet again for litterbox issues. Oddly enough, he urinates in the box perfectly, but he is not so perfect with his poops. He went to a home without a dog and the same issue occurred and FFAR has concluded that this is a behavioral issue. Henry is still a wonderful cat and so deserves a great home! Here's the good news, he has been back at his foster family's for several months now living in their barn and he seems to be very happy as a barn cat. His poop issues have resolved as well, so perhaps he is one of those cats that needs to be outside, although he rarely leaves the barn by more than a few feet. Although FFAR generally requires kitties to be inside, in Henry's case, a nice barn or workshop for him to live in would be great. The barn needs to be inside an enclosed yard and/or be closed up at night so he is safe from predators. Henry is extremely friendly and loves to get belly rubs at every opportunity. He is a great barn buddy!
*****Henry's adoption fee will be waived for the right home.*****
