Wyatt

Well, hello. I'm Wyatt. I'm actively seeking my special someone that is willing to give me the love, affection, and patience I need to help me feel secure and content. As you can probably tell, I'm no spring kitten---my wild and crazy stage has given way to quiet naps, pets, and scratches from my foster mom, including endless bowls of warm, wet food. As you can also tell---I've been through a lot. My scruffy coat and near-toothless mouth shows a rough past, but my foster mom says I more than make up for it with my vigorous purrs, big green eyes, and soft kisses. I'm still adorable! And thanks to the love and patience of my foster parents, I'm no longer timid and confident enough to leave my room for exploring and play. I've progressed so well that I even play with toys and do (short) zoomies! I'm not quite out of my shell; loud sounds and sudden moves scare me and sends me hiding. Meaning, a nice quiet home with a slower pace would be great for me. Friendly, older cats such as myself would be nice; I'm really curious about the resident elderly cat here so a compatible buddy would be nice. Kids, I'm not so sure about. And here's a word from my foster mom: Sweet Mr. Wyatt is an amazing boy who needs and deserves a forever companion that will understand his special needs and give him all the love he deserves. Due to previous trauma, he takes a bit more time to adjust to new surroundings and routine, and will need extra patience in order to feel safe. As most of his teeth were removed, soft and wet foods with plenty of hydration is necessary to keep him healthy. Wyatt may be older and a bit scruffy, but he has so much love to give and will be a welcome addition to a kind, loving family that will love him fiercely---despite his flaws. IMPORTANT MEDICAL INFO FROM FOSTER: Wyatt has very special needs that require patience, time, and care. Due to his advanced age and medical needs, he requires a special diet and extra care for his physical and emotional well-being. He is litterbox trained, but can have accidents if he feels anxious or in new, unfamilar spaces. Due to medical trauma and malnourishment/dehydration issues, his diet requires extra attention to make sure he stays well-hydrated and at a healthy weight. He needs a safe and quiet home where he can feel secure, and reassurance from a loving, consistent caregiver who is present enough to build his confidence where his personality can shine through. A forever home with an experienced caregiver who is familiar with the care and needs of geriatric cats and/or cats with special medical needs is ideal. Loud noises and sudden movements scare him, so a calm, quiet home without children or dogs and a human that works from home would be a great fit. Another friendly, older cat in the home for him to bond with is a plus, as human and/or cat companionship has helped build his confidence. Wyatt requires a lot of attention, but he has so much love and affection to give in return. He deserves to spend his remaining time in a home with humans that will love him unconditionally!
