About Fred

Fred arrived at the rescue because his previous owner was concerned about his appetite, but once here, he quickly started eating without issue and his lab results were normal. After an initial bite incident during an exam, Fred completed his rabies quarantine with no further problems—he just asks for some respect for his personal space, especially right after a vet visit. Fred is a large, short-haired senior cat and is dealing with obesity, so the team is helping him adopt a healthier lifestyle. He's also front declawed. Fred isn’t currently house trained, and adapting to new routines might take some patience. Have questions or want to meet him? Coordinating a visit is easy.
