My personality

My story

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

Joshua and his sisters, Joanna and Judith came to rescue having been found under a tree during a thunderstorm. Joshua was almost unresponsive and needed immediate medical care. While in rescue, this poor little guy has struggled with maintaining his weight and staying hydrated. Early in life, he was diagnosed with seizure disorder, but happily he is being weaned from his anti-seizure medication and showing signs of outgrowing his condition. Joshua is a quirky lil guy. When overstimulated or stressed, he becomes overwhelmed. He has kitty OCD, which makes him highly focused on daily routines and habits. You can learn more about his special story on our Kitty Korner Blog!

But given all of that, Joshua is simply the sweetest lil guy and everyone absolutely adores him, especially those who share his psychological and emotional challenges. Because inside, they know he is just trying to understand this big, confusing world.

Joshua is a long-haired tuxedo (almost an identical twin to his sister Judith). He is going to be a real heart breaker when he gets older.

More about this rescue

Saint Gertrude Rescue is a small, non-profit kitten rescue serving the Birmingham and Huntsville areas in Alabama. We lovingly guide abandoned and orphaned cats and kittens towards their intended forever family. After rescue, these little innocent angels are hand-raised in foster care. Many require constant care and attention. They are given abundant love, nurtured, socialized, and all health and veterinary needs are attended to.

We follow the prayer of our beloved St. Gertrude of Nivelles: “…God has graced us with the love of his heavenly creatures. We pray for the protection of our dearly beloved pets…with the love of all beings.”
