About Momo

Momo is a large brown and black domestic short hair who has been front declawed, which has left him sensitive, especially when it comes to using the litter box. He’s dealing with discomfort in his feet, and pain management will be an ongoing need in his new home. His former family loved him but had to say goodbye after years together due to severe cat allergies—a tough decision that was made with his best interests in mind. Because of his declawing, Momo is wary of litter boxes and will prefer those with soft or empty surfaces. He needs someone who can patiently help him relearn that using the box doesn’t have to hurt. His new home should be calm and low-traffic, with adults who understand his past and are committed to working through his behavioral and medical needs long-term. The rescue will support his foster or adopter for life, ensuring he has what he needs to stay comfortable and secure. Momo would do best as the only animal in a quiet, child-free environment. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
