Teddy Domestic Short Hair Warwick, RI

Hello friends! Please say hello to Teddy, a 6 and a half-year-old domestic short-haired male who loves, loves, and LOVES his wet food! Teddy is a nice guy; he has been socializing over at Scruffy Paws and doing his best to make new friends with his fellow sheltermates. We feel he will be happy in a home with another respectful cat. Getting a picture of him has been a fun experience. He'd much rather have you pet his head or scratch his chin than let you take his picture. He isn't a fan of being picked up, but a little patience and a whole lotta love will help Teddy settle in. We smile every time we look at Teddy's furry little face; he has the best markings! Teddy enjoys getting lots of attention, but he can get overstimulated by all the love, so we feel a home without children will suit him best.

Thank you for being so interested in adopting from Scruffy Paws Animal Rescue! If you see this post, we still accept applications for this cat(s)/kitten(s). Please refrain from emailing us regarding availability.

All adoption fees include spay/neuter surgery, microchip, rabies, and distemper vaccinations, proof of FIV/feline leukemia testing, flea treatment, deworming, and an exam by a licensed veterinarian.

Our shelter hours are by appointment only and are not open to the public. Many of our cats and kittens are located in foster homes. An adoption application MUST be submitted and approved before meeting our cats/kittens. We do this for the safety of our fosters and potential adopters.
