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.
