Introducing Dr. Pepper! This fluffy boy recently came into AFRP's care after Hitchcock Road Animal Services reached out for help with a poor kitty who was brought in with a urinary blockage. Now, after loving care and dedication from our clinic staff and his foster, Dr. Pepper is ready for his furever home! Dr. Pepper has a charming bob-tail and a big personality to match. He is exceptionally outgoing and always ready to greet new people. He adores rubbing up against his favorite humans, lounging by the window or on his cat tree, and soaking up all the pets he can get. When not soaking up love, Dr. Pepper loves to play with anything - balls, strings, catnip toy, cardboard boxes! He is a very curious and adventurous guy, who is sure to keep you laughing. While in our care, Dr. Pepper was diagnosed with Manx syndrome, a congenital condition associated with his bob-tail. As a result, he requires a prescription urinary diet and daily medication-which he takes like a pro! He also experiences some occasional incontinence or light "dribbling". Possibly due to Manx Syndrome, Dr. Pepper is also hearing impaired or deaf, but it doesn't slow him down one bit! Dr. Pepper has overcome some medical challenges and in spite of a rough start, he is full of personality and sunshine. He is harness-trained and stroller-trained and he'd love a home with a catio or one where he could go for little walks safely on harness or in a stroller with his people. His ideal home would be with adult adopters or families who have cat-savvy children over the age of six at this time. Dr. Pepper may do well with a calm, confident cat or a dog in the home. Due to his exuberant nature, he is not a good match with a very gentle or shy cat. **Dr. Pepper is a candidate for a foster-to-adopt opportunity!
