Why I need a new home

Does not get along with other pet

My story

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


We got Thoreau in 2018 from the SPCA along with his brother, Emerson. Thoreau loves to headbutt people and ask for pets. He is very sweet and has a calm demeanor.

He has developed a habit of peeing in multiple places throughout the house. We have tried using 10+ litter boxes for our 6 cat home, medication, Feliway, and nothing has seemed to help. At the same time, he has developed an adversarial relationship with our older cat, Taz.

Thoreau no longer likes to come upstairs and doesn’t seem to really enjoy being in our house any longer. I’m hopeful that if he were an only cat, he would stop peeing in unwanted places.

Thoreau is a very sweet boy and would love to live with someone who has easy-going cats or to be an only cat. He’s good with kids as well.
