My story

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

PREFERS A HOME WITHOUT  male cats, dogs, children.

Meet Buddy Kittens:

Buddy Kittens is a 9-year-old (as of 3/13/22), domestic long-haired neutered male.

Buddy Kittens has been in his current foster home since September 2020. He has done almost a 180 change since he's been there, and it's time for him to move on to a new home, either through fostering or adoption. His foster mom has done amazing work with Buddy, and would love to keep him, but she lives in a small house and has cats of her own. One of her cats is an alpha male, and needless to say, two alphas in a small house don't work very well. Buddy would do best in a quiet home with one or two adults (no children) who have solid experience with cats. To our knowledge, he has never been around dogs and because of that, we would not recommend that he live with dogs. A home with no male cats would also be preferred.

He's a character with lots of personality who loves to talk. The other alpha male is temporarily no longer in the home which has helped Buddy relax. He’s sleeping next to his foster mom’s pillow & getting along well with the female cats.

Buddy had a loving home from kittenhood, but two cross country moves & the arrival of two babies to the original household proved overwhelmingly stressful for him. Buddy ended up with a case of PTSD that turned him grumpy & reactive. Underneath that grumpy exterior, though, we could see a heart of gold. His current foster mom has done a great job bringing that out in him. He can be quite cuddly. We would love to find someone who can continue bringing out his sweetness. He has mellowed quite a bit, especially after weekly sessions of energy healing. (He goes monthly now.) He also needs to lose weight & continue with a thyroid supplement (kelp) that gets mixed into his wet food. Aside from being overweight, he is perfectly healthy. There's a lot of him to love.

More about this rescue

Mission Statement: The Cat Network is an all-volunteer, not-for-profit, 501(c) (3), no-kill and life-enhancing cat rescue group. Since 1991, we have rescued and placed thousands of abandoned, abused, stray and shelter cats and kittens in St. Louis, Missouri and surrounding areas. After their rescue, the cats and kittens are provided medical care, tested for Feline Leukemia and FIV, micro-chipped and spayed or neutered. Cats and kittens are kept in foster care and then placed in loving permanent homes whenever possible.
