Daughter’s college roommate found a special kitten in Sept. Kitten is healthy except he is missing bones in his hind legs and cannot use them. Vets don’t recommend surgery. May be a candidate for a wheelchair but right now he is active and happy. Litter box trained. We can’t keep him because of our three dogs. He will get hurt. He is no longer allowed in the dorms.

Went to our vet 12/23. Current on vaccinations. Negative FIV and leukemia. We are willing to pay to neuter and for second set of vaccinations in a month. He cannot be a barn or outdoor cat. Any COTHer living in an apartment and willing to give him a home? He is really sweet and needs a home. Thanks for considering.

Bump!

Just out of curiosity - how does he get around then? Does he do the butt scootch all the way to the litter box?

Goliath is fairly mobile. He just drags his hind legs. Really playful. Will try to post pictures soon so people can see how cute he is.

Thanks for the bump.

Special cat found the perfect home. He is happy with the run of an apartment, a cat friendly dog and another cat. He also found an owner experienced with disabled dogs interested in helping a disabled cat. He is close by so we can visit.

We are are thrilled with the great match.
