Dung Beetle is a medium-sized, short-haired orange and white male cat with a wonderful spirit. He is neutered and his vaccinations are up to date. Although he is not house trained due to Manx Syndrome, which requires regular bladder expression and some special care, he is thriving in his foster home at Misfit Felines Inc. His lively, affectionate personality shines through, making him an extra-special addition to a loving home.

About Dung Beetle

They are ready to love you; are you ready to apply? Say hello to Dung Beetle, a spirited and playful young cat who delights in snuggling up close and tucking himself in for a cozy nap—often creating his own little burrito out of blankets. He adores being at the center of household activities and is always ready to join in the fun, sometimes even catching a ride on shoulders. Dung Beetle is extremely social, easily making friends with both cats and dogs, and thrives on companionship. Dung Beetle's special needs set him apart in a wonderful way. Born with Manx Syndrome, he has no tail, a shorter spine, and needs a little help with bathroom routines. Despite these differences, he's adapted beautifully: he wears diapers so he can enjoy the freedom of the house, and he requires his bladder to be expressed a couple of times daily, with an occasional quick clean-up. Dung Beetle may protest these brief moments, but his affection quickly returns once they’re done. He even finds entertainment in digging around the litterbox, even though he doesn’t need to use it. He especially enjoys the company of other cats and would love to go home with another playful kitty friend. His best pal, Ladybug, is also available if you have room in your heart for two amazing cats. For young kittens like Dung Beetle, the rescue requires either a sibling to go home with or that there already be a playful, young feline waiting to welcome him. As an added bonus, adopters receive a fantastic adoption package valued at around $100 when they visit select pet store partners. Dung Beetle is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and ready for his forever home. Give them the home they have been waiting for. Apply today.
