Buddy's Story

Meet Buddy! This big guy is very sweet and loves being around people. Buddy lived with another cat before but there didn't seem to be enough space for the two of them. In his foster home, he took a few days to acclimate and come out of his shell and within just a few days he turned into a very sweet, affectionate companion. <br/><br/>As he becomes more comfortable, he greets visitors at the door, introduces himself by soliciting head scratches and then plays by himself or retreats for a nap. He is a bit on the heavy side but since he started to play more and be more active, he will be in good shape quickly. He can be a finicky eater and is not very treat motivated. Buddy loves catnip, pet grass and feather wands and is a curious, polite boy who enjoys a chat on occasion. <br/>His litterbox behavior is excellent and he is overall a gem of a cat. <br/><br/>Sadly, Buddy is front declawed and at times his front paws seem to be a bit sensitive. He still likes opportunities to pretend to scratch. He always enjoys a head scratch and at times a belly rub and often comes when called. Although he did not do well with another cat in his previous home (the reasons are unknown), he is cautiously curious about meeting the neighbor's (male) cat and dog. Buddy will bring his own carrier, litterbox, blanket, toys and a month's worth of his (currently) preferred food when he moves in with his forever family.<br/><br/>Buddy is blossoming in a foster home at the moment! If you're interested in adopting, fill out an application at this link: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/ACIL/Cat<br/><br/>Make sure to include his name and ID number on your application! A staff member will reach out to you shortly about setting up a meet and greet!
