Earl's Story

Well, hello! My name is Earl and I am looking for a warm and cozy space to occupy in your home! I am just an 8-year-old aspiring couch potato in need of a soft place to land - preferably, in your lap. I might be a little on the bigger side, but I am a gentle and calm boy.<br/>To the surprise of my shelter staff and volunteer friends here at the shelter, I actually lived outside for most of my life! They can only assume I was not very good at outdoor life, because I have some battle scars from where I didn't do so well at defending myself... I have left that street life in the past and traded it for soft blankets, plush beds, and the occasional game of "catch the toy mouse!"<br/>I am diabetic but I stay healthy and happy with my once a day medicine that I eat in my special wet food like a champ! The staff is proud to report that my glucose levels have been consistently wonderful since I started my Bexacat and diabetic diet. The vet recommends that I get my levels checked every 6 months to ensure I am my absolute best! Likely due to my previous rough life in the wild outdoors, I am FIV positive. The good news is I am still young and healthy and FIV is really no big deal at all! As long as I continue to live inside only (which is really all I want) I will be just fine! I had a dental done to extract a few teeth that were bothering me and now I am officially READY to spend forever loving my family!
