Story
We would like to introduce you to "Cleo", our adorable 7 month old SPECIAL NEEDS tuxedo kitten who is ready to find his forever home.
Cleo’s story has been on Facebook. Cleo came to us back in July. He was in very rough shape having been found in a yard by a good Samaritan. Cleo has had to overcome lice, blindness in one eye, upper respiratory infection, continuous nasal congestion that would not respond to antibiotics, a heart murmur and malnourishment. Even with all these obstacles, Cleo has always been a lovable, funny, sweet boy who loves to be around his humans giving kisses and, sometimes, little "love bites" on the chin! He has overcome so much which truly represents his fight to live and love life.
Cleo is up to date with his vaccinations and he tested negative for feline leukemia/aids. He was recently neutered and had x-rays and exploration of his mouth to see if there were any polyps or something interfering with his ability to breathe, which has improved after his last antibiotics. Luckily nothing was found. The vet said Cleo has what is called "rhinitis" which is that periodically he will get inflammation of his nasal passage and sneeze and get watery eyes. It may clear on its own or may require a short dose of medication. Cleo may outgrow this or it may continue throughout his life.
Cleo also had an echocardiogram a couple weeks ago and there were no concerns. It was recommended to repeat one in 4-6 weeks to make sure the small amount of fluid between his heart and sack around the heart isn’t increasing.
Cleo is a happy little guy who likes cats, dogs and children. He loves playing and hiding his favorite furry little mice, dragging his caterpillar around his foster home, playing with and drinking the water from the faucet or water fountain and running and jumping full speed around the house! Cleo also LOVES, LOVES cat TV on the YouTube Channel, taking his morning and afternoon naps listening to the relaxing piano music and watching the birds. Cleo is an absolute sweet and good boy who will make a wonderful addition to any family. His little black spots on his back feet are simply adorable! Due to Cleo's possible medical needs down the road (eye, heart), Cleo’s adopters must have the means to be able to take care of his needs should they arise when he gets older.
To adopt from us, you MUST have a veterinarian reference in your own name. We will not place any animal without a veterinarian reference. We get a veterinarian reference from your veterinarian which is a history of medical care administered by your veterinarian to your present or previous pet or pets. We ask that you please not contact us if you cannot abide by our adoption rules.
The adoption fee for Cleo is $235.00. No credit cards.
