Hi! My name is Seymour and here is a little more about me : My Journey I’ve already lived a big life for a little guy. I was found with severe injuries to my back legs and hips and brought to a shelter in Orange County. It’s believed I was hit by a car, and because my injuries were so serious, I was placed on the euthanasia list. Thankfully, Smittens Rescue stepped in and gave me a second chance. I went through major surgery to restore function to my back legs and hips. When one leg didn’t recover, even after a second six-hour surgery, it had to be amputated. Since then, I’ve shown just how resilient I am. I run, climb, play, and fully enjoy life on three legs. My Social Life Other cats ? Because I’m so active, I’d do best with a playful feline friend who enjoys rough-and-tumble play. Dogs ? I haven’t had much experience with dogs yet, so I’m not sure how I feel about canine friends. With slow, thoughtful introductions, I may do just fine. Kids ? Can be mouthy during play when overstimulated. A home without young children would be ideal, especially since I don't enjoy unexpected touching. My Personality I’m energetic, curious, and very people-oriented. I communicate clearly and prefer initiating affection on my own terms. As I settle into a safe environment, this has already improved and continues to get better with time. I let you know when I'm not in the mood for petting—especially around my amputation site, which remains a sensitive area—and does best when my cues are respected. I Enjoy Interactive play —wand toys, ambush games, and anything I can chase and pounce on. Catnip and will happily play for 20–30 minutes at a time Gentle petting on the top of my head and under my chin. Churu squeeze treats and Fancy Feast Purely Natural Hand-Selected Chicken treats - yes, that's specific ! Toys over hands (kicker toys are a big hit!), which helps me channel my energy in a fun and appropriate way. I’m Not a Fan Of Seafood flavors aren’t my thing. Wet food. Dry food is my preference. What Makes Me Special I’m a proud tripod! I get around confidently on three legs and don’t let it slow me down. I also have subtle black striping hidden within my dark grey (blue) coat, which makes me extra handsome. My Perfect Home I have a high energy level and would thrive in a home with a playful cat companion who can keep up with me. I would thrive in a calm, cat-savvy home where people understand feline body language and give me space when I asks for it. I can’t jump quite as high as a four-legged cat, but I run, climb, and explore very well—which also means I’m less likely to leap straight onto counters. I’m currently living in a multi-cat foster home and continuing to learn and grow every day. I’m a resilient, affectionate little survivor looking for a forever family who will embrace my energy, personality, and big heart.
