Background

Phoenix is a total sweetheart who came into care after his rescuer reached out. She was concerned about his low weight and some drooling. A vet revealed that poor Phoenix had severe dental disease and a bad bacterial infection in his left ear. We were challenged to ease his suffering as Phoenix had to have the ear infection resolved before he was able to have dental surgery. This poor fellow is left with just a few incisors, the rest of his teeth are gone. Phoenix came into care already neutered, but with no ID, he was posted as found but sadly no-one came forward to claim him. Thankfully, he tested negative for the Feline Immunodeficiency virus and Feline Leukemia and he is now shipshape and ready for a loving home!

Despite a very rough start, Phoenix is a lovely and affectionate cat who would make a great addition to a cat loving family, with or without other pets. This handsome boy is the definition of confidence. Friendly and laid-back, he is the ultimate “people cat” for cat people and loves laying the center of any room watching what everyone is doing or joining you on the couch for some TV. Phoenix is now the picture of health and is a normal weight, and has even become vocal! Phoenix is being fostered with other cats and doesn’t hesitate to join them at meal times or sharing the couch for an afternoon snooze. He also enjoys watching the birds and squirrels with the resident cats in their “catio” or in the enclosed back yard when the weather is nice.

While he gets a thrill out of chasing things that move quickly, he has yet to figure out that not all cats know he is just play chasing. He does well with the other confident, laid-back resident cats, but the more timid ones find his bold confidence and occasional bursts of energy a little unnerving.

Phoenix also seems very accustomed to routine household activities. And, in contrast to vet trips with her other cats, Phoenix seems curious and intrigued by car trips,sitting on his foster mom’s lap watching the scenery fly by out the car window, rather than scared by it all. At the vet, he walks around confidently on his harness and sits patiently during the exam. The vet even commented on his nice, even temperament despite the procedures.
