Taco Fersch Domestic Short Hair Merrifield, VA

Taco was rescued from a home in Virginia after a 4Paws volunteer learned that the parents didn't want him any longer and planned to just put him out on the street.

He loves human attention for petting. He has big bursts of energy and will run around the house, often getting under his foster mom's feet. He tends to be a door dasher, so he is not at all suitable for a home with small children who have not yet mastered the art of keeping doors closed, both interior and exterior. Adults also need to be very aware that he can be right behind you when you are opening a door and that he is quick. He is super curious what interesting things may lie on the other side of a door.

He has a great appetite, with all-day access to a high quality chicken kibble and twice-daily servings of juicy Fancy Feast, which he loves (and he is very vocal when he knows food is coming his way). In fact eating seems to be a Olympic sport a which he always wins gold -- he will eat a full can of Fancy Feast at each feeding. He will try to steal the other cats' food, even off your plate too. What's his is his and what's yours is his. He has good litter box manners and is used to a high-sided litterbox with unscented litter.

Taco needs to go to a home with another young kitty of his same high energy level, he loves to play. He will need lots of toys to bat around. He was easily integrated into his foster home and got along with the resident cats quickly.

Taco was born around late January 2023. He is neutered, current on vaccines, tested negative for FiV/FeLV, and has been micro chipped.
