Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Big Fella roamed Mom’s neighborhood 12 yrs ago. She thought he was lost or abandoned because he was not ferrel. A trip to the vet for a check-up and neutering put his age at 1-2 years. Due to a misunderstanding his ear was clipped in the typical T-N-R manner even though Mom had decided he was now her cat. That is the only flaw on this handsome black and white tuxedo cat.
Big Fella has been kept up to date on all vaccinations and has no health issues. He loves to be brushed and eat treats (especially Temptations.)
BF (as we sometimes call him) has gone from living strictly outdoors (when he was on his own) to living the cushy life of an indoor cat with Mom in her assisted living apartment.
Mom’s health has declined and BF gets little attention from her. Now she needs to move to Memory Care and Big Fella cannot go with her. This is the reason for rehoming. He is not aggressive and usually hides under the bed when a stranger arrives.
