My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Tad: DSH, Estimated DOB 4-15-11, Neutered male. Tad is a gray and white male who is very sweet. He had a bit of a rough start in life -- not only was he the runt of his litter, he has a rather deep indentation in his chest due to pectus excavatus and this seems to have caused him to fail to thrive. He has responded well to special feeding (hot dogs, canned cat food etc) in small frequent quantities and he has gained weight and has finally shed his kitten fluff for sleek dark gray & white fur. He has had x-rays and the pectus excavatus does not appear to be life-threatening. However, he may always be a little quieter than other cats and he will not be able to tolerate rough handling AT ALL (too easy to poke right through his chest wall at the sternum). He is very loving and likes to sleep with you. He needs to be in a home with very gentle people who will watch for any signs of weight loss or other problems. He is fine with other cats though he is not especially fond of big slobbery dogs.
