My story

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

Update Adopted! Foxy - an Amazing Tabby Cat !

Contact: dcmcats@yahoo.com

Foxy is a sweet boy! He enjoys being pet and is interactive and playful with people. He can be picked up and held. He enjoys tier toys with balls and loves catnip! He loves to be held and absolutely loves any and all attention. He can however sometimes get upset if you ignore his requests and will try to grab onto you for attention!

He is full of personality and given the choice, he would rather play with toys and be pet, held and played with, then even eat his dinner! He just needs some working with, so we are hoping for someone who will be patient with him to work out his little quirks, and give him time to settle in and get to know you and your household. But he is such an amazing cat. He is very personable, so is more like a roommate than just a pet. He definitely gives a sense of presence. Foxy would need some time to get comfortable in a home but he would really enjoy the companionship once he settles in.

Foxy showed up about 3 years ago in a feral cat colony but he is not a feral. Last year, he was badly hurt and it appeared he had been hit by a car! He had road burn rash down his back and a huge gash on his front leg. His little leg was double the normal size! Besides the severe road rash, his claws were filed down to the quick, his bottom tooth had punctured his top lip and had to be stitched closed, and both of his front legs were severely infected and the gashes had to also be stitched closed. His caretaker found him injured and rushed him to the vet! Miraculously nothing was broken. He recuperated well in just a few weeks and has since put on some healthy body weight. He has blossomed into a handsome boy with a beautiful coat!

Since he enjoys companionship, it is sad that he is once again living with the feral colony. He likes other older cats in the colony but can be a rascal to some of the smaller younger cats. He doesn’t hurt them but likes to tease. We would like him to be an inside cat or if there was an opportunity for him to have access to a safe enclosed yard or an attached enclosure where he can go inside and out safely. But he would be happy with a nice window with a good view and his special person(s) to give him love. A quiet home but where his people or person can give him a lot of attention when he asks. He will come to you for love and affection once he knows you!

Please email dcmcats@yahoo.com for an application include a little about yourself and your household and what your typical daily and weekend schedule is like. His caretaker rescuer is asking for a vet reference and we are looking to place him with someone who has prior experience with cats, so please include the name of your current vet or the vet you used for previous pets that we can contact for a reference. Thank you for reading about Foxy and hope you will consider adopting this wonderful boy!
