Polydactyl kittens & cats in Marble Falls, Texas

Social, Observant, Polydactyl Guppy's personality is as unique as her extra toe beans! And she puts those extra beans to good use immediately - Guppy could open her own bakery with how hard her biscuit making skills go! She is not quite a lapcat, and prefers not to be picked up, but she eagerly sits next to her humans and makes happy biscuits in their lap the whole time she can cozy up nearby. Playtime is not a huge priority for Guppy. She's too busy keeping her biscuit-filled bakery running to have time off for toys! Truly, not many typical cat toys have caught Guppy's eye, but a tunnel to run through, or some squeaky toys and scratch pads are plenty for her! She is super interested in real life as it happens around her, and would enjoy a comfortable windowsill with a good view that she can observe the outside world from. If there are silly birds or squirrels to watch, even better! Guppy is quite the social gal! She is affectionate in her own way, and loves to initiate interaction with her humans on her terms. Mostly, she will set the physical boundaries of how close or far she will sit - but the second she settles down, those biscuits will be made rapidly! The best way to approach Guppy is with a calm and slow introduction. She will clearly set her own boundaries of whether or not she is in the mood. She'll indicate with a sweet head nuzzle if she is ready for pets, or back off if she decides now is not the time! Guppy would benefit from a human who is happy to let her set the pace for their cuddle and pet sessions, and someone who is willing and able to recognize her cues. Guppy's social behavior applies to respectful kids and other cats also! She has done well in foster previously with children ages 8 and up who are aware of typical cat boundaries and are able to calmly interact with her! She also immediately, eagerly interacted with the resident cats in her foster home. Guppy would fit into a multi-cat household no problem, especially if the other cats are outgoing and friendly like Guppy is with other felines! Give this sweet lady a chance and watch her blossom into the loving, independent feline she can be! Contact APA! today to adopt Guppy into your family! All APA! cats are fully vetted, spayed or neutered, and have updated vaccines and a microchip. Lifetime support is offered by our Cat Behavior Team.

Beans literally radiates love.  He is magnetic for people who meet him, has the softest play style and LOVES to cuddle.  I would call him aggressively affectionate.  He is a polydactyl medium longhair with striking black and white patches.   Beans was  rescued with his brother after theirr mama was killed defending them against a predator.  They enterred foster care at age 2 wks and are living in a family with other cats and dogs and going to work with their foster mom.  They meet so many more people at their foster mom's job and love to travel in the car.  He is super social and confident with people, in new places and with other animals due to this enriched babyhood. Special needs: he has a spinal cord injury that occurred when his mama was killed.  As a small baby he was dragging his back legs. With some kitten PT and amazing kitten healing, he is now doing well but will always be a tiny bit weak and a tiny bit wobbly in his back legs.  I have videos of his recovery.  He is also twice as persistent and determined to keep up and do what his littermates do.  His resilience has gone right along with a really connected, confident and curious personality.  I think it is because he was cared for and cuddled constantly since he was rescued.  We do have current x-rays of his spine and can be sent to your vet if desired.  He runs around, climbs, plays and gets into everything.  Nothing slows him down so the humans have to keep him safe by not having too high cat trees or things he can fall off.  Also required a lot of cuddling, this little man wants to be with you all the time.  And will paw with his big mittens to get pets and attention. ##2136761##
