Story
Meet Moe! Take a change on this guy!
Moe is estimated to be 14 months old. We say estimated because he came to us on May 25th when he was found with his 2 siblings, his mom and another older cat at a local park in a dog cage. He currently weighs 12.8 lbs. so he is not a little guy.
Moe and his two siblings developed a cold after being rescued. They were taken to the vet where a special test was done on his brother, Marty, to see what was going on. The test came back as positive for FHV (Feline Herpes Virus) which is an upper respiratory condition that will cause signs of a cold. Flareups may happen whenever something stressful comes up and being left in a dog crate at a park is probably what brought it on. It is not a serious condition, but it is contagious to other cats (not to dogs and humans) if there are signs of a cold.
He has not shown any signs of a cold since then and appears perfectly healthy. A good diet, an immune strengthening supplement and a stress-free environment would be excellent for him.
He is such a character compared to his siblings. He acts like a dog! He plays fetch (see his video) and will bring a cat toy to your feet and tap your ankle to throw it so he can fetch it. He is a lap cat, neck cat, armpit cat - he wants to be near his human, if you lay down, he is right there with you, purring up a storm. If he is sitting in a high place and you walk by, he will tap you on your shoulder to see him! Oh, if you say, 'I'm going to get you' and take step towards him, he runs and hides and will run back out to have you chase him!
He is dog friendly with the dogs in his foster home. He hasn't been around a larger dog, but I believe as long as the dog is cat friendly and with proper introduction, it would be no problem.
Moe is vaccinated, neutered, rabies, combo tested negative and microchipped.
