My story

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

Meet Mushu, a handsome classic orange tabby who turns heads with his rich orange coat, striking tabby swirls, bright green eyes, and long white whiskers. He is the kind of cat who looks like he stepped right out of a storybook.

Mushu is a true sidekick. He is friendly, quietly confident, and always happy to be petted. While he may not be the life of the party, he absolutely adores cuddling on the bed and leaning into gentle affection. His purr is unbelievably deep and rumbly, the kind that makes you feel instantly calm. He is not much of a toy chaser, but he will happily hunt a tasty treat if you toss one his way.

This sweet boy is wonderfully independent. He spends hours watching birds and wildlife from the window, perfectly content in his own company. If you are gone during the day, Mushu will be just fine holding down the fort. When you are home, he will gladly join you for quiet companionship. In a particularly adorable twist, even when he has free rein of the house, he sometimes meows for an escort back to his favorite room. The door is open, but apparently a proper gentleman prefers an escort.

Mushu would thrive in a calm, predictable home without children. He has had neutral interactions with other cats and could live peacefully with a respectful feline friend, but he would likely enjoy being your one and only. He is not shy with adults and settles into new environments with impressive confidence.

Mushu is considered Special Needs due to a history of urinary blockage and stress related cystitis. He is doing well on a prescription urinary diet and takes a daily fluoxetine tablet. He eats both canned and dry food and uses the litter box reliably when it is kept clean and large enough, ideally with two boxes available. Since arriving in foster care, he has had no recurrence of cystitis or blockage symptoms. He permits nail trims, uses scratching posts, and never uses his claws on people.

If you are looking for a mellow, affectionate companion with a soothing purr and a love for window watching, Mushu may be your perfect match. He is not flashy or demanding. He is simply a sweet, steady presence who will curl up beside you and make your home feel warmer.
