Theodore's Story

Yes. The information is good, but for an adoption bio I’d soften the wording around “attacks” so people understand that Theodore may be showing high-energy play/overstimulation, rather than assuming he’s simply aggressive. I’d also keep the fluoxetine information factual without predicting whether it will work.<br/>Here’s a polished version:<br/>Meet Theodore<br/>Born the first week of May 2026, Theodore had a difficult beginning. He was born to a feral barn cat who was sadly killed by a coyote, along with two of his siblings.<br/>Despite his rough start, Theodore has grown into an incredibly smart, busy, and affectionate young cat. He loves curling up in your arms while you’re sitting and happily settles into your lap in the recliner. Most of the time, he is a very sweet and loving boy. ❤ï ̧<br/>Theodore is also an extremely active, high-energy youngster who sometimes becomes too rough with his person. His behavior may be related to play, boredom, or overstimulation, and he needs a home with someone who can provide plenty of interactive play, enrichment, and appropriate outlets for all that kitten energy.<br/>His current owner loves him dearly but feels that his activity level and rough play have become more than she can comfortably manage. The goal is to find Theodore a home that is a better match for his needs.<br/>Theodore recently began fluoxetine under veterinary care and has only been taking it for three days, so it is still too early to know how he will respond.<br/>Theodore is:<br/>✂ï ̧ Neutered<br/>Up to date on vaccinations, including rabies<br/>Negative for FIV/FeLV<br/>Very intelligent<br/>❤ï ̧ Affectionate and cuddly<br/>Active, playful, and in need of lots of enrichment<br/>Theodore isn't a bad boy—he's a very busy young cat who needs the right home and the right outlet for all that energy. ❤ï ̧
