Yoda (aka Yoda Bean aka Yodee) is a rambunctious, sweet “senior“ cat who has no teeth so makes him even more Yoda-like.
He’s been in our home since July with our 2 resident cats and has gained weight and has adapted to his lack of chompers very well. He LOVES his wet food and ADORES his post med Temptations. (More on this later).
We put “senior” in quotes because at times he has way more energy than our 2 resident cats (4 & 9). The vet has told us that Yoda is believed to be about 15 years old, but he acts like a 4 year old.
Yoda enjoys a cozy warm spot to snooze but is never far away from the action. While he hasn’t connected perfectly with our 2 resident cats, he is very playful and wants to have fun. He runs with his crinkly balls, relishes in the laser pointer fun, and chases after the string on a stick. Recently he has discovered cat TV and peeps at the birds and jumped at the screen to try and catch a squirrel. He seems to want to be near cats but ours are not open to his overtures.
Yoda was diagnosed with feline stomatitis which a painful condition that causes severe inflammation mouth and gums, resulting from an abnormal immune response. Most cats respond very well to full mouth extraction but some cats, like Yoda, require life-long care to suppress the immune system and reduce inflammation of the gingiva. The medication is not costly, however, best practise would be get bloodwork done every 6 months.
The good news is that Yoda is the BEST cat to give meds to (and I’ve given lots of meds). When he finishes his breakfast or dinner, he sees the pill pusher and he jumps up on the back of the sofa to receive his meds without complaint. Because after he has his meds he knows it’s treat time!! He then loves to receive a handful of Temptations on his little mat. He’s a delightful guy.
He likes brushies, playing with his toys, naps, cat TV, Temptations and being a part of the family. He has never had a litter accident. We would love to see him go to a family that will set him up with many cushy spots to sleep and lots of wet food and love. He likes to wrestle on the floor -on his terms- and sometimes gums your hand when he’s really riled up. He has been ok with toe nail trims. And while he has not yet become a lap cat, with the right house that could come. We would absolutely keep him if our 2 weren’t so closed minded to a third.
Thank you for welcoming a senior cat into your family - an adoption fee of your choice is appreciated, vs. our standard adult cat adoption fee of $200.
