Speedy's Story

Hi, I'm Speedy, and yes, I'm as wonderful as my photos make me look. <br/><br/>I'm 9-ish years old, although my exact age is a bit of a mystery. I came with my name when I was adopted as an adult back in 2017, and nobody ever saw a reason to change it. I guess I've always just been Speedy. <br/>Let me tell you a little about myself.<br/><br/>I am very kind! I don't scratch, I don't bite, I'm not mean and I have not one bad bone in my body.<br/><br/>I love people. I love kids. I love attention. Actually... I really, really love attention. <br/><br/>I'm the kind of cat who wants to be where the people are. I give kisses. Ill groom you. Ill sleep at the foot of your bed. And once I decide you are my person, I'm pretty much all in.<br/><br/>I'm also very tolerant of other animals. I can live with dogs—even puppies! I may not want to play with them, but once I'm comfortable, I'm perfectly happy sleeping next to them and cuddling. If a dog gets a little too close to my personal space, I might give a little warning pat. But I'm not vicious, and I'm not looking to hurt anybody.<br/><br/>Other cats? No problem. Once I get to know them, I might even groom them. <br/><br/>And apparently, I'm pretty smart, too.<br/>I can solve treat puzzles, and I kinda know how to give paw. I've even figured out how to break into a bread box and move free weights around so I could slide open doors. What can I say? I'm an excellent problem solver.<br/><br/>I'm still active and playful like a much younger cat, but I'm also perfectly happy snuggling up with you.<br/><br/>I'm even a gentleman at bath time and nail-trimming time. Yes, really. You can bathe me and trim my nails. I told you I was special. <br/><br/>There is one thing I really, really need in my next home: lots of love and attention.<br/><br/>My family loves me very much, but they've realized they just aren't able to give me as much attention and interaction as I need. And as much as it hurts, they want me to have the life I deserve.<br/><br/>So I'm hoping for a home where someone wants a cat who is truly part of the family.<br/><br/>Maybe that's a lively home with kids.<br/>Maybe its someone who wants a companion to share adventures with.<br/>Maybe its a family with other pets.<br/>Or maybe its simply someone who wants a sweet, affectionate cat who will follow them around, give them kisses, and curl up at the end of their bed.<br/><br/>That's me. I'm Speedy and I have a lot of love to give. <br/><br/>One important thing about me: I eat a urinary-health formulated food (Science Diet Urinary Care, an over-the-counter formula). I had urinary crystals once a long time ago, and they resolved after my food was changed. I've had no problems since, but my family has wisely kept me on urinary-health food ever since.<br/><br/>So... what do you say?<br/>Could you be the person who gives me the love, attention, and happily-ever-after I've been waiting for? <br/>I'm ready to meet you!
