Cooper Sprout | Male | Best Cat Buddy (DSH) |
Rescue Story:
I was surrendered to Zoe's when my owners were unable to afford the extensive vet care and treatments required to help save me. Especially as I required a lot of trips back to the vet for further treatment, which wasn't feasible for them. Even though they did wash me as much as possible when I was lying in my own urine, I still received severe urine scalding that required surgery to debride and many treatments to fully heal. It's been months since then, but now my fur has finally grown back, and the vet says I am good to go! I am grateful that my owners asked Zoe's to help save me, and I can't wait for the next step of my journey!

Good with Dogs? Unknown
Never met one, sorry.
Good with Cats? Very specific cat(s) only
I would probably be fine with very cat friendly young cat buddy with slow proper introductions.
Good with Kids? Unknown
Older kids are best as I can be a bit bitey sometimes when too playful.
Critter Twitter:
I am one very handsome tuxedo who loves to be the center of your world. I may not be in your face demanding, but boy am I happy getting lots of love and playtime. I am generally always around someone and happily staring outside the window in whatever room you are in. I love to be up high, and I would really enjoy lots of tall cat trees near windows and even cat shelves. Maybe a cool catio that I could have free access to come and go? That would be so neat! I am the sweetest boy who can't wait to be your new heart cat! #lovebug
About my Behaviour:
I am a boy who craves lots of attention, and I would thrive in a home where someone is home often, if at all possible.
I do require a lot of mental stimulation daily; food puzzles, a catio, and clicker training would be fun! I am very food motivated and smart; you could teach me a lot of tricks. If I have too much energy, I can be a bit of a toddler and get into stuff I shouldn't. All those things will help burn off my energy. I love to stare outside the windows, so a catio would be a great way for me to be outdoors but secure. I do love to go out onto the porch on a harness/leash, so if you have no catio, you could continue with that.
I really thrive having a stable routine (same time feedings and playtime), so please ensure it's something you can provide for me on a daily basis.
I can sometimes get a bit nippy when hungry or too playful, but the 3 meals and playtime will help stop that or at least reduce the frequency.
How’s my Health?
I am fully vetted. My fur is slowly growing back but should look normal once it does. I will need to be on urinary food for life, as I am prone to urinary blockages. More wet is better, as it helps to dilute the urine, and 3-4 meals a day can also help lower the alkaline in my bladder. Currently I am being fed 3 times a day, and I look forward to every meal. Reducing my stress is also important as well. Other than that, I am perfectly healthy. Oh, I do prefer newspaper litter, just FYI.
