Big Boy's Story

Our rescue is based out of Pikesville, Maryland! We typically do not adopt more than 45 minutes away from Pikesville, so please bear that in mind! <br/><br/>___________<br/><br/>Big Boy is a calm boy who found himself without a home on the streets of Baltimore. At nearly 20 lbs, he's in the top of his weight class! <br/><br/>Big Boy knows he's the top cat, and acts like one. He always eats first, and sometimes nips at other cats, either to get them away from his food, or affectionately. He doesn't do it to hurt them, but he does sometimes leave bald spots on their little heads!<br/><br/>We think Big Boy is a few years old. He is well-mannered though he does have his quirks, and his chunky size makes him a substantial kitty to give hugs! He gets along well with other cats and would do fine in just about any home. He would love a responsible indoor-outdoor home. He definitely needs a more controlled diet than he can receive at his foster home.<br/><br/>BIG BOY SHOULD BE CONSIDERED SPECIAL NEEDS as we have been unsuccessfully treating a sinus issue that may simply be chronic. We still have a few things to try but any interested adopter should understand that he may be congested and snotty on a permanent basis.<br/><br/>___________<br/><br/>Needs Must Cats will have received full vetting including spay or neuter, FIV/FLV testing, microchip, age-appropriate vaccines, and treatment for parasites by time of adoption. The adoption fee in the amount below helps us assist more cats and kittens in urgent need. These fees do not even begin to cover our expenses so please consider making an additional donate to support our life-saving efforts!<br/><br/>ADOPTION FEES:<br/> Special Needs or Barn Cat - Donation<br/> Adult Cat / Kitten over 6 months - $90 (Pair: $155)<br/> Kitten under 6 months - $175<br/> Pair of Kittens - $300 <br/><br/>Please feel free to contact us by email with any questions, or submit your application here: http://www.needsmust.org/adopt
