Here's what the humans have to say about me:
FOSTERED IN: Frankfort, IL
AGE: 5 years
COLOR/BREED: Black and White, Domestic Shorthair
GENDER: Male
KIDS: Yes
DOGS: Unknown
CATS: Yes
HISTORY:
Buttons has stomatitis which is chronic inflammation of his gums. There is no cure for it, but it responds to maintaince with antibiotic and steroid shots. Because of this condition, Buttons is eligible to be a forever foster. This means that you provide the home, and we will pay for his medical at our Tinley Park veterinarian.
Buttons was part of an outdoor colony, but was soon found to be friendly so his caretaker didn’t want to leave him outside.
ABOUT: Buttons is your typical big, friendly FIV+ boy. His life on the streets sure hasn’t effected his disposition. He is very gentle. When you first meet him, he may hide a bit until he knows you are a friend. After that he is very affectionate and will rub up against your legs.
Buttons does well with the other cats in the adoption center, but prefers the more easy going cats. He especially likes the friendly female cats. He is not a picky eater, and has good litter box habits.
