Story
Meet Patches, a cat with a personality as unique as his goblin ears and bright green eyes. At 5-8 years old, Patches gracefully navigates the complexities of feline life. Originally a stray who joined a neighborhood colony, Patches has transitioned to have a preference for the indoor life. He enjoys the simple pleasures of gazing out the window, surveying the world beyond. He is a connoisseur of head-butts with your hand, can’t resist the allure of wand toys, and he’s a delightful companion in the kitchen especially when mealtime is near. Patches, discerning in his choice of human companions, may initially be reserved and will show off his skill for hide and seek, but earning his trust is an immensely rewarding experience. Once comfortable, he transforms into an affectionate companion. Picture him asking for pets, sharing your bed at night, and expertly weaving between your legs. We suspect that Patches has either IBD or GI lymphoma. His daily routine includes one twice-a-day medication and one medication every other day, an essential act of care for his GI issue which have help tremendously. His current foster has experienced some litter box issues but that could dissipate if he’s the only cat in the house. He would do best in an adult only home with other older feline friends or flying solo. If you’re ready to provide the care and understanding Patches deserves, you will have a lifelong friend in him. Bring this enigmatic companion into your home and discover the many facets of his feline charm! This handsome guy will go home with a 3 MONTH CARE PACKAGE including his medications.
