Click apply and let the tail-wagging begin! Alfredo is a lovable and goofy Persian cat with a strong independent streak. When he arrived at the rescue, he had been quite neglected, but some TLC has helped him feel so much better. Alfredo is estimated to be around 10-11 years old and is four-paw declawed; because of this, he sometimes bites when uncomfortable, which is his only means of defending himself. For this reason, Alfredo is not an ideal match for homes with young children. This distinguished fellow prefers to be the only pet in the home. Alfredo takes daily prescription medication for allergies and needs extra help with grooming—a regular "lion cut" with a groomer keeps him comfortable, and wearing a soft shirt or body suit prevents him from chewing at his skin. A fabulous feline wardrobe is a must! Alfredo is seeking a loving, indoor-only home with adopters experienced in keeping their pets indoors and committed to regular preventative care. His adoption fee covers his neuter, microchip, current vaccinations, and FIV/FeLV test. The rescue performs background checks, home visits, and checks on vet history for potential adopters. They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now!
