About Buddha McCracken

Meet Buddha McCracken, a playful senior who’s ready to bring joy into your life. Raised by a farm family in West Virginia, he’s now looking for a cozy indoor home after his previous family downsized due to allergies. Buddha has a great appetite, minimal shedding, and a heart full of chatter. He's accustomed to living with dogs and even chickens, but he’d love to settle down indoors with his humans and fur friends. This sociable cat is fantastic with kids and gets along well with dogs and other cats. He came to 4Paws with some gastrointestinal issues, but they resolved when his foster switched his diet to freeze-dried raw food, which he eats without issues. Buddha is neutered, fully vaccinated, microchipped, and has tested negative for FIV and FeLV. A day of his quality diet costs between $4-$6, resembling the price of good canned food.
