Gary isn’t at the shelter, but looking for a special indoor home through a courtesy listing in Moscow, ID. Born May 1, 2019 (making him a practical, grounded Taurus), he’s a neutered, up-to-date-on-shots, extra-large black cat with a long medical history. Gary’s got a complex set of special needs: he has laryngeal paralysis, so he’s at constant risk for choking and absolutely cannot have any wet food or treats—the risk is life-threatening. He also has a visible chest bone deformity that doesn’t bother him, a persistent feline herpesvirus (requiring careful management of medication and lysine supplements—as long as it’s not liquid), developmental delays, a neurological gait, balance issues, and he’s battling obesity (he needs to lose about five pounds). Despite the challenges, Gary is affectionate, loves lap time, and is gentle with people. He absolutely enjoys meeting new folks and can live with other cats (ideally with his mother, Mishka), though not with dogs. He’s good with children, so long as they don’t pick him up or offer forbidden food. He must remain indoors, and adopters must be vigilant and consistent with his dietary and health needs. Gary is house trained. More medical history and information can be provided to the right adopter. Give this unusual, loving goofball the careful home he needs. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
