Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Scruffy is a 2-year-old spunky guy! He’s 11lbs but isn’t a physically large cat. As his name might imply, he was turned into the shelter with large amounts of hair missing due to a severe flea allergy. After lots of time, many neck and chin scratches, and high-quality food, his hair has mostly grown back and he struts around proud of his new look. Due to his severe flea allergy, he will need to strictly be an indoor cat and will need to be diligently treated with flea prevention medicine monthly (along with all other animals in the household). Scruffy is quick to purr and loves to be scratched. Some of his favorite things include treats, toys with catnip and feathers, window hammocks, and playing fetch! He doesn’t love being held/confined or having his toenails clipped and he’s not afraid to use his toenails and teeth to show displeasure. He excitedly greets his foster mom with chirps and meows and runs over to her every time he sees her. Scruffy currently only somewhat gets along with the other cats in his foster home, but their relationship is improving every day. He was previously in an open cat room at the shelter, though, where he got along with the other cats just fine. He has only been around a couple dogs but he seems to get along with them as long as they’re calm. Scruffy is fostered in Huntsville, AL, litter box trained, FeLV/FIV negative, up to date on vaccines, neutered, and microchipped! Fill out a non-binding application for Scruffy here: http://forrescue.net/cat-application/ and his foster mom will be in touch!
