Albus: 16 Pounds of Lap Cat Looking for His Last First Home<br/><br/>Hi, I'm Albus! I'm a six-year-old, 16.2-pound Maine Coon-type gentleman with long hair, a laid-back personality, and a very strong belief that humans should not have empty laps. <br/><br/>Technically, I'm a cat— but I'm a great cat for a dog-person: I come when I'm called, sit for treats, follow my people around the house, and love to play fetch on the stairs. <br/><br/>I was born on a farm and have always lived indoors. Unfortunately, I've been passed from home to home and returned to the rescue more than once. It turns out, I had some medical needs were properly understood or managed. Now that I finally have the right diagnosis and treatment, I'm doing very well. What I need next is the thing I haven't been able to find: a stable home where I can unpack my metaphorical suitcase and stay forever.<br/><br/>I'm a people cat through and through. I'm happiest when someone is home much of the day, because I really like company and want to be included in whatever you're doing—even if what you're doing is just sitting still.<br/><br/>I enjoy daily brushing, bird-watching, cat TV, and wand toys. I'll also chase toys tossed up the stairs, which is both fun and a respectable workout for a gentleman of my build and stature. When playtime is over, I'll climb onto your lap for pets and scratches. (Please note that I said I'll climb up myself. I'm not a fan of being picked up, and being 16 pounds of fluff, that arrangement is probably best for everyone.)<br/><br/>I'm also very serious about my schedule. I eat canned food twice a day, and if breakfast is supposed to happen at 6:00 a.m., I will be available at 5:59 to make sure you haven't forgotten. You're welcome.<br/><br/>I have a condition called megacolon, which is currently well managed with medication I receive three times a day. I also had stomatitis and have had most of my teeth removed, but I eat my wet food just fine. There is a questionable irregularity involving my spleen that still needs additional medical follow-up, although I currently look and feel great. My adopter will need to be comfortable and reliable with keeping up with my medication schedule and veterinary care.<br/><br/>I would do best as the only cat in the home. I can live with a respectful dog, provided the dog understands that my cuddle time is not a group activity. Older children or teenagers would be a good fit. I'm also very cooperative for nail trims, which should earn me additional points.<br/><br/>Fitchburg Friends of Felines is looking for a committed foster-to-adopt home where I can settle in while everyone makes sure the match is right. My best person may be retired, work from home, or simply spend a lot of time around the house. More than anything, I need someone dependable who enjoys an affectionate companion and wont mind arranging the day around meals, medication, brushing, playtime, and lap duty.<br/><br/>I've had enough temporary stops. I'm ready for a person, a routine, and a lap I can finally count on!<br/><br/>Personality traits: Affectionate, gentle, playful, easygoing, loyal, people-oriented, lap lover, bird watcher, brush enthusiast, schedule supervisor, part-time dog <br/><br/><br/><br/>Fitchburg Friends of Felines facilitates a foster to adopt program that places the intended adoptee with the potential adoptive family. This ensures that your feline companion is the perfect fit as well as provides support as you both transition into your new life together.<br/><br/>You can fill out an adoption application here:<br/><br/>https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe1685w60NjfU2eeE55Cd57TAaEZU7bERjyY825EMto48sTQw/viewform<br/><br/>Please reach out to Fitchburg Friends of Felines directly at 978-222-3170 or fitchburgfriendsoffelines@gmail.com with questions.

Albus: 16 Pounds of Lap Cat Looking for His Last First Home

Hi, I'm Albus! I'm a six-year-old, 16.2-pound Maine Coon-type gentleman with long hair, a laid-back personality, and a very strong belief that humans should not have empty laps.

Technically, I'm a cat— but I'm a great cat for a dog-person: I come when I'm called, sit for treats, follow my people around the house, and love to play fetch on the stairs.

I was born on a farm and have always lived indoors. Unfortunately, I've been passed from home to home and returned to the rescue more than once. It turns out, I had some medical needs were properly understood or managed. Now that I finally have the right diagnosis and treatment, I'm doing very well.
