Meet Sponge! About 3 years old, Sponge landed on the shelter’s urgent list after living outdoors in tough conditions. Even then, his love for people was obvious—he soaks up every bit of affection, which is exactly how he got his name. When he first arrived, Sponge was healing from a rodent ulcer, a treatable condition that’s often due to allergies or irritants, nothing to do with rodents. With care, he bounced back quickly and is in great shape, ready for a real home. Sponge has the kind of temperament that fits right into almost any home. He gets along well with other cats and actively seeks out attention. If you want a gentle, loyal companion who will be right there to relax beside you and return every bit of love, Sponge offers that in spades. He truly deserves a home that will recognize how much he’s overcome and reward him with lasting comfort. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
