My personality

My story

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

Meet Bigote. This sweet man has been living happily as a community cat for most of his life, soaking up the sun, playing with his many cat friends, and getting lots of attention from local residents. Unfortunately Bigote has a condition called Stomatitis which required all of his teeth be removed a few month ago. Since then he has been doing great back in his colony living life. Sadly his caretaker is now moving away and there will be no one to continue monitoring Bigote's health and safety as a community cat. We are hoping to find him a home so we can ensure he stays a healthy happy boy. This guy is an incredibly sweet, affectionate, playful cat with so much personality. He loves to be scratched all over, especially around his cheeks, and roll onto his back for attention. Part of us thinks he is faking his "condition" just so he can become an indoor cat. He absolutely adores humans! Despite living outdoors most of his life Bigote has great indoor manners. He uses his litter box and scratches his posts and counts down the minutes until mealtime. He is currently sharing a foster home with several other cats and a small dog. If you are interested in offering this loving boy a safe space, please reach out. We would be happy to talk to you more and answer any questions about his condition though we don't anticipate him having any longterm issues.

More about this rescue

San Diego Street Cat Society is a volunteer run organization, providing free advice and assistance trapping and managing community cats. Our goal is to fill the gap between the community and the shelter, especially during COVID when shelters and rescues are being stretched thin. While we mostly TNR feral cats, we occasionally find kittens or very social adults that would do best in loving homes. Our volunteers foster these cats until we can find their forever homes. Please visit our website to learn more about us! And find us on Instagram to follow our cats!
