About Simon

Meet Simon, the ginger giant with a heart as big as his love for snuggles. Rescued from the streets of Oakland, he's about three years old and thrives on affection. Simon gets along well with other cats and likely dogs, making him a perfect companion. He has some special bladder needs due to past trauma to his back and tail, requiring assistance to fully express his bladder and occasionally leaking. Simon is not in any chronic pain from this condition, but it may require lifelong attention. He would flourish in a home with an experienced and patient adopter who can provide him the care he needs. Simon is neutered, vaccinated, flea treated, dewormed, microchipped, and has tested FIV positive but is FeLV negative. This lovable guy is waiting for someone special to help him thrive.
