It certainly has been a rough start for our boy, Hobbes. Found wandering on the streets of Etobicoke, very sick and unable to fend for himself, his only hope was to find someone to care for him. EHS stepped in, and his incredible healing journey began. Time to recover from life outdoors, and dental surgeries to successfully address his periodontal disease, has allowed Hobbes to show us his true resilience. Now recovered, our little trooper is ready to find a forever family.
ABOUT HOBBES - In foster - Despite his rough past, Hobbes is a very trusting cat. He can be picked up and cuddled any time, any day. - In fact, Hobbes is the true definition of a cuddler! He’ll sit on your lap and enjoy lots of chin scratches and head rubs, all while purring up a storm. He will even stick his head out to get your attention so that you know that he wants more. Hobbes would sit on your lap all day if he could. He just wants to be loved! - He will also allow his foster dad to brush him when he is on his lap. Gotta keep that golden coat in tip top shape. - Hobbes is very food-motivated and meows in excitement when he hears the rustle of the food bag or cans! - He will more than likely require some personalized care due to the fact that he has trouble cleaning himself, and is also a bit of a messy eater! A potential adopter should be willing to give him an occasional bath (which he tolerates very well!) and clean up after he has finished his meal. - Due to Hobbes’s dental surgeries, his tongue seems to stick out of his mouth most of the time. In the endearing words of his foster dad, ‘He always looks like he has a derpy ` :P ` face going on!” What an adorable quirk! - He is neutered, microchipped, dewormed, flea-treated, SNAP-tested for FIV/FeLV, and is up to date on core vaccinations. - Hobbes has FIV, which is a virus that weakens the immune system of a cat but is not transmissible to humans or other species.
HOBBES’S IDEAL HOME - Hobbes enjoys the company of felines and would be happy to share a home with another FIV+ friend. Being an only cat would suit him just fine as well. - He is more of a passive participant with the resident cats; Hobbes is a very mellow boy who simply enjoys being in their company. - He does not require medication but vet checkups twice a year are recommended. - Cats who have FIV can live just as long as other cats if they are properly c
“I know they are helping me.” - Hobbes the cat.
