Story
Meet Compton – our resident silver fox and professional lap warmer. At 10 years old, this charming gentleman has been through it all and come out purring.
When Compton was first rescued around Thanksgiving, he was in very rough shape—emaciated, covered in mange, fleas, and ringworm, and frankly, no one was sure if he’d pull through. But with time, love, and a whole lot of canned food, he made an incredible comeback. After a complicated dental and the discovery that he’s allergic to kibble (which likely contributed to his original condition), Compton is now thriving on a wet food–only diet and living his best life.
Despite all he's been through, Compton is such an easy going guy and is the ultimate lap cat. If you sit down, don’t be surprised if he appears out of nowhere to settle in on your lap like he was born for it (spoiler: he was). He loves people, has never met a stranger, and can easily adjust to just about any home. Wanting a cat you can pick up and cuddle? He's your guy! He makes friends where ever he goes. Even his vet office fell in love with him! He's still playful too—wand toys and fuzzy balls are his jam!
He’s also, quite frankly, a hungry hippo. This boy loves his food. Like, really loves it. Counter-surfing? Yes. Meal time enthusiasm? Off the charts. But hey, after everything he’s been through, we think he’s earned it.
Compton is fine with other chill cats who respect his space—he’s not into being pounced on or chased by young whippersnappers. He’ doesn't love dogs, but could likely adjust to a calm, cat-friendly one who gave him space.
If you’ve got a warm lap, a stocked supply of canned food, and a heart big enough to welcome this resilient, affectionate sweetheart, Compton is ready to claim his spot in your home (and on your couch).
Compton has had a full dental, bloodwork, xrays, and an ultrasound, all of which say he's a healthy guy with lots of years and love left to give! Though he's currently on a prescription renal diet, our vet suspects he'll be able to switch back to normal senior cat food in a few months. We'll send you home with a case to get you started. (He's also neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, and dewormed.)
To meet Compton, please submit an adoption application.
