My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

We were so sad to get word that after 3 yrs, Donnie will be returned...and to make matters worse, with one less eye. 4 yr old Donnie has it all...good looks & charming purrsonality who is in need of a new home. He lived happily with two dogs and two adult humans. During a stressful time of his life (a new baby!), he was put on a special diet for crystals, but has had no further problems. He gets along with the adults he meets and is snuggly and affectionate. He just doesn't have tolerance for babies/toddlers .

He also suffered an injury which lead to glaucoma in one of his eyes, and his adopters had it removed to alleviate any further pain or discomfort from the pressure. That was almost two years ago, and he healed perfectly, and is now a wonderful one eyed pirate kitty.

Donnie is THE friendliest cat. No one told him he's supposed to be aloof and play hard-to-get! Donnie will come right up to you and give you kisses, head bumps, pats with his little paws, and lots of purrs. This large, long-haired kitty wants nothing more than to be admired, and he is a flirt! He rolls over on his back for a tummy rub, luring you in...BUT he does have one flaw...he can get over stimulated with too much petting and will nip or swat to let you know he has had enough.. You just have to know how to read his signals. He is also much more tolerant with his beloved humans than with strangers (making it hard to show what a fabulous kitty he is, because everyone wants to pet his beautiful self!).

This is a kitty who REALLY loves interaction and activity. He loves his current dog-friend and would really like to find another pup to play with. Because he is accustomed to playing with a dog, if he is introduced to a new kitty friend, he will need one who likes to rough and tumble ! Donnie has loads of personality, and is looking for a cat person who who understand his mysterious ways, his petting preferences, and will be patient until he bonds with you. Completely litter-box trustworthy, neutered, up to date on shots and microchipped. Not suited for small apt. living. Needs an experienced adopter
