About Champ
Champ is a rare find for those looking for a gentle, low-maintenance senior cat who truly just wants company and comfort. At 13 years old, he came into rescue after his previous family could no longer provide for his special dietary needs due to a condition called mega colon. He doesn’t require surgery—just consistency with prescription dry food and some extra fiber like pumpkin mixed into his wet food. Both are easy to source, and the rescue can guide new adopters. After his arrival, Champ needed a thorough grooming, which immediately made him feel much better. Now, he spends his days snoozing in sunny spots and curling up beside you on the couch. He asks little—some affection, some routine, and kindness when cleaning up after the occasional bout of vomiting, which is mostly liquid and easy to wipe. Don’t worry about accidents; he reliably uses his litter box, even with muscle loss in his back legs. Because of his age and health, Champ must be an indoor-only cat. He does well as the only animal in the home and prefers this setup. Despite his age, he still sees himself as the king of the house. If you can offer a quiet, understanding home and are comfortable sticking to his simple special diet, Champ may be the perfect mellow companion. Start your journey together! Apply now.
