My story

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

Bear came to PFOA in April of 2021.  He had lesions and patches of fur missing, and after many appointments and a skin/allergy specialist, we were able to finally diagnose this miserable condition:  it's an autoimmune condition and may flare up if he is exposed to extreme stress.  He was immediately put on a regimen of steriods.

The excellent news is that he hasn’t had a flare up in a year, living at the shelter and rooming with other cats.  He has been getting a dose of the steroid treatment every three days, and his specialist vet is ready to start cutting back on the steroids. But Staff isn’t taking any chances with this handsome boy, and when he’s adopted, the plan is to keep him on the current dose until he until he adjusts to his new home and family.

Bear is a very handsome, almost-eight year-old cat (just check out the photos below), and once he gets to know you, he’s very sweet and will greet you with a cute little meow. He loves to be brushed and loves his treats. He does enjoy outdoor time in a safe, enclosed environment—there’s a little structure in one of the play yards that’s now known as the “Bear House.” We believe he will do best as an only cat who will enjoy all the attention his new loving family can give.  So if Our Bear sounds like he should be Your Bear, just give Staff a call and make an appointment to meet Bear!
