About Mister Dipstick

Mister Dipstick came from a crowded home of cats, all abandoned after their spay/neuter surgeries. Since arriving, he’s powered through an upper respiratory infection and a lingering single-cell parasite, for which a follow-up fecal is recommended before he settles into your place—this is covered by the rescue, and they’ll even supply more dewormer if needed. He’s a sleek black-and-white domestic shorthair with a playful spirit, known for getting along with other cats, calm dogs, and kids who respect boundaries. Not picky, Mister Dipstick enjoys both wet and dry food. He’s up to date on all his vaccinations, neutered, microchipped (with a lifetime registration included and setup help provided), dewormed, and he’s tested negative for FeLV. He’s litter-box savvy, though starting him in a single room is wise for a smooth transition—especially if you have other animals in the house. Slow intros are best: swaps of scent and a gradual mix work well for Mister Dipstick, given his brave but gentle nature. You’ll get all medical records, adoption contract, and care handouts—including tips on dealing with upper respiratory flare-ups during transitions. He’s used to living with fosters until finding the right fit, and the price is $125, which helps cover his care. He’s ready for a fresh start in a loving home.
