About Frederick

Meet Frederick, the Tubby Turkey! This affectionate 8-year-old tabby boasts a sweet face and striking green eyes. Frederick is a big guy, currently on a weight-loss journey that his new family will need to support. He recently faced some health challenges, being diagnosed with Medial Humeral Epicondylitis, similar to "golfer's elbow" in humans. Pain management and a weight-loss plan have begun, and we're hopeful that with the right care, Frederick's symptoms will lessen significantly. Though he can be a bit grumpy when overstimulated, this is likely due to the discomfort he's been experiencing. The right touch and a bit of patience can reveal a snuggly companion who loves chin scratches and headbutts. He'll let those he trusts pick him up and rub his belly. Food motivates him, and your commitment to his diet will be crucial. Frederick gets along fine with other cats but would prefer an adult-only home where his boundaries are respected. It's important that his adopter understands he needs time to feel secure. His adoption fee is waived, and the rescue will also cover his next two monthly pain injections. Frederick seeks a special family willing to help him become the loving companion he is meant to be. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
