My name is Simba!

Sweet Simba needs a special adopter. Simba has a significant heart defect and likely will only live a few more years at most. It is impossible to know when his heart will be unable to continue and he could only have a few months of life left. He is on medication twice daily, which he takes mixed into his food. He is very good-natured and affectionate and really deserves a home to make his short life his best life. He is currently in foster care but he does not do well with other cats and so has to spend all his time in a room separate from the other cats in his home. He is comfortable and well-cared-for, but we really want him to be able to live in a home where he can explore at will, lay in his human's lap, and sleep on a cozy bed or couch. Ideally, he would like to be an only cat, but we would consider a home with one other mellow cat. Simba is affectionate, friendly, easy-going, and loving- just a great pet all around. We know it's asking a lot for someone to take on a cat knowing they might lose him in a short time, but we are hopeful that someone will understand the value in giving a very deserving cat a loving home, even if only for a short time. This type of kindness not only helps the cat, but also deepens our own souls and adds richness and meaning to our lives. Ella's Feline Rescue Mission will pay for all Simba's ongoing cardiac care (adopter will be responsible for routine wellness exams and minor illnesses) and will provide respite care when an adopter travels and can't do his daily meds.
