Stuart Nicknames: Stootypants, Stoots, Stewie, Stubie, Studebaker, Stootie Patootie, Studer, Stoot. The man of a thousand names. Stoots is suspected to have PRA, or Progressive Retinal Atrophy. It is a progressive, degenerative disease that will cause eventual complete blindness, with no cure. It is not contagious, a death sentence, and he is not painful in any way, shape, or form. Felines diagnosed still lead a wonderful, happy, and healthy lifestyle, despite this shortcoming. Stuart exhibits blindness (not complete; he can make out certain shapes, and is incredibly smart with figuring out where things are, following your voice/floor taps, and yes - he will climb chairs, too, to get your attention). However, he is also incredibly cautious getting around (if it is a new/undiscovered area). His nosiness and curiosity outweigh any fear that may arise. It’s rare that we will recommend a senior and kitten pairing, but there is something extra special about the companionship baby Mercury has found in Stuart. If considering a kitten and wanting to give a senior boy a chance at the same time, this pair is exactly what you’ve been waiting for! Est. DOB March 2017, he is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and tested Felv negative. He is FIV+ but that just means his immune system isn't quite up to par so he should be monitored closely for any sicknesses as it may take him longer to recover. FIV+ cats can live with FIV-negative cats provided there is no fighting as the virus is transmitted through deep bite wounds. Adopters will also receive an adoption package of goodies valued at around $100 if you visit one or both of our Petstore partners after adoption (Tabby & Jacks and All Paws). Misfit Felines Inc is a foster based 501(c)3 rescue. All of our cats are in foster homes. The first step in the adoption process is to submit an application.
