13th Street Cat Rescue

“Red” is a big orange tabby with medium to long hair. He showed up around October of 2017 as a stray. But he is constantly being picked on by the other stray/ferals that his foster if feeding and socializing. 

Even though he has been around a while they have not come around to accept him and I feels bad that he is constantly harassed/attacked by the other cats.  He seems to have no problems with other cats being around at all, they see the ones with the problem with him.  Maybe it’s because of his size.  He is a stockier cat than the rest.  He was full grown when he arrived.  I did hop on the scale once with him and he was around 14lbs.  He is quite the big boy. 

He is very skittish but once he trusts you he is quite the lover kitty.  He loves to be petted.  He immediately rolls over to give me his belly for a rub when I walk outside.  When I go to pick up the bowls he is rubbing his head on my hand.  He loves kitty treats and to snuggle up on the cat bed for a nap.  He has come inside a lot but usually doesn’t venture far into the house.  He likes to just snuggle on the cat beds near the door. 

He does cower a lot of times but I pick him up and once I start petting him his motor comes on…and he’s a bit of a drooler.  If he was the first cat to walk into my patio he would have been an indoor pet for sure.  He truly wants to be loved.   I do not know about his litter box manners.  He does come inside for a while for some naps and to just hang out but always goes outside.  I have not seen him use the box, nor has he spent the whole night inside.  This is due to the fighting with the other cats.  I don’t want that inside.  Whoever takes him would need to be patient with him, but I think he would be an amazing pet.   He was taken in to the humane society around thanksgiving of 2017 and had the TNR done.  He also has a microchip. He gets flea treatment every month.  He has not been back to the vet since then but I would be more than happy to take him in for another round of rabies shots if that would help get him a forever home. He has eats dry food and doesn’t appear to be very picky.  He also enjoys a little wet food that I split between the five cats in the morning.  I wish I could keep every cat but like I said the other four have a problem with him.  They came first so they have seniority.
