Microchipped, DOB: Nov. 23, 2013
Hello, Professor Plum here. I’m writing to let you know that I’ve successfully completed my PhD in being handsome, sweet, and one of a kind. My foster family has fallen completely in love with me, but I am now seeking my forever home.
When I’m not reading and writing, you’ll often find me relaxing with my humans. I’m quite fond of a nap, as most intelligent cats are and I love to cuddle and play. I sometimes ponder if I’m even 10 years old? I’m so spry and still get what the kids call “zoomies.” I like to express myself vocally when I require attention or food, so please make sure to listen to my wise words.
As you can clearly see, I’m a stunning boy. Unfortunately, during my stray days my Persian cat beauty routine was neglected, and I’ve had to undergo a bit of TLC since being in foster care. I’ve had several of my teeth removed which means I can only eat wet food. It also means that my tongue often hangs out of my mouth, but I say that just adds more character to my charming looks.
I had some pretty matted fur that had to be shaved off, but as my hair grows back into the beautiful coat I once wore, I’ll need a regular brushing routine to make sure I’m always looking my best. My nails have also been trimmed but they’re not in the best shape right now, so I think it’s important for you to know that they’ll probably need regular and careful cutting. As any gentleman of my stature would, I’ll require someone to stay on top of my grooming sessions and vet trips, and to pay lots of attention to my unique features. I promise, I’m very worth it.
In conclusion, I am requesting a forever home where my human(s) will be around most of the time and will treat me like the king I am. While I am a well-respected professor, I’m also a total sweet heart who deserves all the love, care, and attention to make sure I’m living the best life I possibly can.

When Professor Plum first came into foster care he had some litterbox issues. Now that Plum has settled into his foster home, the peeing outside the litter box has slowed significantly. In addition to being more comfortable, his foster parents now know what he needs to be happy, and he isn't doing it as often. Professor needs lots of affection and care during the day, as well as his food broken up into several feedings, to keep him happy and relaxed. We’re not sure why he still occasionally pees outside the box, but his blood tests have come back normal, and his past urinary crystals have been resolved with a urinary health food. His issues seem behavioral more than anything, and after all he's been through, it makes sense! He is very vocal about his needs, so his foster mom stays alert, listening to him and watching his body language, and this seems to have made all the difference. However, he might have some issues when he first goes to a new home, so his foster mom will definitely share the tips she’s used to lessen this behaviour!
Special note from my foster family: We are in love with Professor Plum. He is a teddy bear of a cat and is so sweet and cute. He needs a home where he will be KING and will get all the attention he deserves after a hard life. Professor needs affection, love, patience, understanding, and care.
He also needs a family who has a dedicated budget for his upkeep, as we expect he will need more grooming and vet visits than some other kitties might. With all that said, we can't emphasize enough what a great cat Plum is. He is so sweet and adorable and deserves the best life. We are obsessed with the Professor and whoever adopts him is a lucky person indeed.
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.
