Mango - In Foster

This is the equally sweet and handsome, Mango This beautiful boy and his "brother", Junior were brought to the shelter through no fault of their own, but only after their previous owner moved and could not take them with them. Mango has an estimated birthdate of 11/13/20, so he's about 5 1/2 years old. Mango is a super sweet, outgoing and confident guy. He loves everyone he meets, and is not one for personal space. If there is a lap to lay in, he will find it immediately. He wants to be a part of the action and follows his foster parents all around the house, probably hoping that they sit down and he can navigate directly to their laps! That's right, this sweet boy found his way to a loving foster home, so that he could get out of that stressful shelter! He is loving life in the home and quickly acclimated to the home and his foster brothers and sisters. Both boys have been perfect gentlemen in their foster home and have exhibited no destructive behavior, or had any out of box incidents! As mentioned, he is a confident kitty, but he doesn't start fights. The other kitties in the home don't seem to mind his presence either. So if you have other kitties in your home, he will likely fit right in! He is a fun filled guy who loves to climb cat trees, play with feather wands, certain pipe cleaner cat toys, and any toys containing catnip. He also loves window perches, and watching the birds at the feeder outside of the windows in his foster home. Since coming to the shelter these sweet boys have been stressed, and it has caused some respiratory symptoms to surface. They get sneezy and sound a little congested when they are stressed, and the shelter is a STRESSFUL environment. For this reason, they were lucky enough to move into their foster home. It is likely that Junior and Mango have kitty herpes, which sounds much worse that it is, and is actually quite easily managed. It is estimated that 80% of kitties have herpes, and 90% of kitties have been exposed to it. In kitties it presents as respiratory symptoms, but it's usually very easily treated by stress management, a quality diet, annual vet visits with the respiratory vaccine, and adding a lysine supplement to their food. When they came in to the shelter, they exhibited no respiratory symptoms at all, but they surfaced only since living in the stressful shelter environment. Don't let this scare you away from these wonderful, otherwise completely healthy boys, no one is perfect, and that goes for kitties too! And they have both been doing GREAT in their foster home, and their respiratory symptoms are getting better by the day! Once they are settled into their loving forever home, those respiratory symptoms should subside, possibly for good, or with minor flare ups from time to time. Even though the boys came in together, it is NOT a requirement that they be adopted together as they are not bonded, and would be fine separated from one another. Each would make a great solo kitty as well! As mentioned, Junior and Mango get along great with other cats, but they have never been around dogs. Being the good guys that they are, they would likely be fine with gentle, cat-friendly dogs. Mango would probably end up playing with a dog! Both boys would do great with children, and would love to play and snuggle with them, just as much as they do with the adults in their foster home. Would you like to meet the dynamic Mango and make him a part of your family? If so, please fill out an application and schedule a meet and greet once you're approved!
