My personality

My story

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

Groucho was found in rough shape. He may have had an admittedly gruff demeanor, but he was unable to take care of himself out there on his own and that will take a toll on any cat.

He was sick when found requiring a few days of hospitalization. During his stay his matted coat was shaved down allowing him to grow out his coat the way it was meant to be. Long and luxurious.

Groucho would thrive in an adult home who would allow him time to acclimate. You will be so glad you chose to give this special cat a chance.

* AGE : estimated to be 3-5 years old by his veterinarian
* TEMPERAMENT: Wants to be a lap cat in a quiet home
* Why are they at the shelter? Found homeless and unable to get by
* Any Health issues? None known, though he needs consistent brushing
* How are they with other cats? Dogs? Good with other cats and seems to accept
dogs who are calm
* Volunteer Comments? "He's such a Dignified cat." Groucho deserves the best of
homes!"

Thank you for your interest in adopting a shelter cat!

All cats are spayed/neutered, FeLV/FIV negative unless otherwise indicated.

All cats are up to date on age appropriate vaccinations.

All of our resident cats use their litter boxes unless otherwise indicated. Cats are naturally inclined to use a litter box.

Cat Fact: If a domestic cat is not using a litter box THEY ARE TRYING TO TELL YOU SOMETHING IS WRONG! It should never be ignored! Your cat is depending on you for help.

Our adoption fee for felines is $65.

That covers the cost of spay/neuter, FeLV/FIV test, deworming, flea prevention (if applicable) and vaccinations (if applicable).

We look forward to meeting you!
