FOSTERED IN: Schererville, IN 46375
ESTIMATED DOB: 08/2011
COLOR/BREED: Orange Tabby Shorthair
KIDS: Yes
DOGS: Possible
CATS: Yes
HISTORY:
Mandarin came to us from a suburban animal control facility.
ABOUT:
Mandarin is 13 years old and is that great mix of active, social, and independent that so many people look for. Mandarin is still active and enjoys playing with balls, lasers, plush toys, and catnip. Mandarin is a great mix: he is energetic and playful, but also very independent and not needy. His foster said he is silly and loves to meet new people. Mandarin loves attention and is happy to sit next to you and on your lap but like many cats, he isn’t thrilled about being picked up.
His foster thinks he would do equally well in a calm or active home, but he would appreciate the ability to have time to himself in an active home.
Mandarin has met grade-school aged children and did fine - he will likely do fine with any children who are old enough to understand they can’t pick him up. Mandarin has been in our adoption center with other cats and is currently being fostered with another cat and does great! He doesn’t need another cat to be happy, but he does well with them and would be happy either way. Mandarin did briefly meet another dog and chose to hide, but his foster feels that he would likely grow accustomed to a well tempered dog that respected him.
Mandarin is not a picky boy and he enjoys all kinds of treats. He does eat an over-the-counter food for sensitive skin as he seems to have itchy skin at times.
Upon intake to the rescue our vet determined he had a heart murmur and recommended an echocardiogram. It was determined that he has Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy that is often genetic in cats. He does not need any medications or treatments. The cardiologist said his prognosis is good as there was no significant progression in his two echocardiograms done a year apart. They recommend repeating the echo every 1-1.5 years if the adopter wishes to monitor possible progression.
