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:

Calcifer is a friendly and affectionate 1-year-old black cat (born May 1, 2024 to a friends barn cat). He is exceptionally social and cuddly. He loves meeting new people, being picked up, smooshed, and carried around like a baby. He’s fearless and curious and talkative.

Unfortunately, he is not the right match for my other cat, who is shy and anxious. Calcifer wants to play and wrestle, which means constantly tackling my timid cat, and that cat has been getting sick with anxiety.

Cal might do well with another confident, playful cat. Since he’s so comfortable being handled, he might do well with kids.

Cal is healthy and happy, but was born with a rear right leg deformity (pictured). It does not slow him him. He runs, climbs, and plays just fine, but he cannot jump as high as other cats. Vets recommend an amputation to avoid arthritis in the long term from his unusual gait.

He needs a booster on his shots.
