Stu's Story

## Meet Stu: The Sweetest Three-Footed Wonder!<br/><br/>**Name:** Stu<br/><br/>**Age:** 1 year old<br/><br/>**Breed:** Domestic Shorthair (Handsome Brown Tabby)<br/><br/>**Gender:** Male<br/><br/>**Personality:** Certified Good Boy, World-Class Snuggler<br/><br/>---<br/><br/>### **About Stu**<br/><br/>They say three is a lucky number, and Stu is living proof! This dapper young tabby is missing one of his feet, but he has absolutely no idea he's any different from other cats. At just a year old, Stu has the perfect blend of playful youth and a remarkably gentle, mellow soul.<br/><br/>Stu is a "good boy" in the truest sense. He is an absolute sweetheart whose main goal in life is to be near his humans. His favorite hobbies include leaning his whole body into your hand for scratches, activating his loud purr-motor the second you walk into the room, and looking up at you with big, adoring eyes. If you are looking for a loyal companion to shadow you around the house and keep your lap warm, Stu is ready to audition for the role.<br/><br/>### **Stu's Ideal Setup**<br/><br/>Because Stu is missing a foot, he needs to be a strictly indoor kitty where he can stay safe, pampered, and loved. He gets around amazingly well on his own, but he definitely appreciates a few minor accommodations to make his life easy:<br/><br/>* **The Setup:** Plush rugs for traction and a litter box with lower sides are great ways to keep him comfortable.<br/>* **Other Cats:** Friendly! He should do well with a slow, proper introduction.<br/>* **Dogs:** Likely fine with a calm, cat-respectful dog.<br/>* **Kids:** Wonderful! He has a gentle nature that matches well with respectful hands.<br/><br/>---<br/><br/>### **Ready to bring Stu home?**<br/><br/>Stu has a mountain of love to give and is so ready to find the forever family he deserves. If you're ready for a lifetime of headbunts, gentle purrs, and unconditional devotion, apply to adopt Stu today!<br/><br/>Stu is neutered, up-to-date on his FVRCP and Rabies vaccines, and he is FIV and FeLV negative.<br/><br/>He is currently staying at our Heartland Facility! We are open Thursday 4 pm-7 pm, Friday 4 pm-7 pm, Saturday Noon-6 pm, and Sunday Noon-6 pm. Feel free to stop by to meet him! No appointment necessary.
