About Teddy

Teddy is a former feral who turned out to be a real sweetheart. He was rescued as an adult from a large outdoor colony and has adjusted beautifully to indoor life. Teddy enjoys batting around his toys and purrs when you pet him—he doesn’t mind being held either. What sets him apart: Teddy sports extra toes, making his big mitts impossible to miss. He did have partial vision loss in one eye early on, but that sorted itself out with time. He’s still reserved with new people at first, but give him a little space and he’ll be rubbing up to you in no time. Teddy is now about 4 years old and thrives around other cats. He’d do best being adopted with one of his friends from the rescue or to a home that already has a feline companion. He gets along well with other cats, and dogs should be fine, but very young children have not been tested yet. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
