Story
Morty was rescued as a kitten, along with his brothers, Hugo and Seymour. His brothers were adopted long ago, and now Morty is seeking an adoptive home! This poor guy was the most sensitive/shy kitten of the litter, and he’s a special cat that needs a special person. If you aren’t a good match or you aren’t able to adopt, please help by sharing this post!
When Morty was first placed in his foster home, he was very scared. He would hide and hiss, and he was fearful of even just a hand reaching out toward him. With time and lots of lickable treats, he started making progress. Now, he approaches his foster mom, rubbing up against her, begging for attention. He’ll even purr, make biscuits, try to lick her head, and do eskimo kisses.
Though Morty isn’t feral, he isn’t the most well socialized cat either. He has developed some trust and socialization skills, but he's still very leery of new people and sudden movements/noises. He's also not accustomed to being picked up, and he may never be a lap cat. However, it’s very apparent that he wants to be a companion, and we think he has the potential to blossom with someone that respects his pace and boundaries!
Morty’s adopter needs to be a patient person that has a quiet home, without dogs or kids. His adopter will need to have experience with cats, and some experience with semi-feral or feral cats would be preferable. While Morty loves the company of some cats, note that his personality doesn't mesh well with all cats. He would do best in a home with a younger cat or kitten that has a friendly, easygoing, non-dominant personality.
Morty is currently living in a foster home in the Columbus area, and this orange tabby kitty is estimated to be a little over a year old now. He’s a playful and active boy, with a long and lean body. He loves catnip, strings, and toys with balls. Some of his favorite activities are looking out the window and watching YouTube videos featuring birds, chipmunks, etc.
Morty is healthy, and he’s been fully vetted - neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and tested for FeLV/FIV. If you’re located in Ohio, and you’re interested in possibly adopting Morty, submit an application via our website. Applicants can also request to foster-to-adopt (meaning a cat can be fostered on a trial basis before making a decision to adopt). Email us with any questions - contactusforgotten4paws@yahoo.com.
