Graydon is an absolute sweetheart who has RSF (resting sad face). Too many pets? No such thing. He is a bit wary around loud, sudden noises, but will be the first to supervise the plumber and electrician when they come around. Based on the volume of his purrs, you'd think you have a generator running at home. He will hang out with you all day, but he will also keep himself occupied. He would do well in any environment with other cats as he is quite social. He loves teasing/feather toys, chasing nerf darts around, and birdwatching. He is also an expert biscuit maker. He is gentle, playful, and loves being around other cats and people... with time. When he first arrived in his foster home, he'd hide whenever someone entered his room, but within a few days he'd come out of his cave. He will need someone who'll be able to keep him in a confined area, willing to work with him and have patience and trust to know that he will show his friendly side soon enough.
About Me:
Graydon has a sensitive stomach, and introducing new foods should be done slowly. He's not currently on any prescription food, but is mainly fed commercial sensitive stomach food (either Hills Science Diet or Royal Canin). His foster has introduced other "normal" food, and with time thinks his gut will adapt, but it needs to be done slowly as he does tend to develop "scabs" around his neck area with unfamiliar foods. With his longer hair he is prone to hairballs (every 1-2 weeks) but that has also improved over time. He's been on fortiflora pretty much the entire time he's been in care, which has worked wonders in solving his diarrhea, though it did take time (about 4mos) for it to fully resolve. Graydon thrives under structured meal times; a dedicated food area (with no other pets trying to eat out of his bowl), and meals being fed at the same time every day have worked wonders in him feeling secure around food. Graydon had 2 broken teeth extracted prior to coming into OSCatR's care.
Notes:
The adoption fee includes a health check, first vaccination in a series and any that become due while in care, first anti-parasite treatments needed in care, spay or neuter and microchip at our Veterinary partner. There is a 10% discount when you adopt 2 cats/kittens. The adopter will be responsible for any vaccine or boosters, anti-parasite treatments that are needed after adoption. Kittens usually need 3 vaccines, one month apart starting at age 7 weeks. Juveniles and Adult cats usually require 2 vaccines one month apart in the first year, then annual vaccines. Deworming is recommended at the time of each vaccine appointment. If you are intending to adopt, please be aware that your Veterinary clinic may be experiencing backlogs in scheduling appointments, so do not delay calling your clinic to book your new cat's needed booster appointment(s). Please note that cats are not tested for FIV/FeLV nor can FIP be predicted. We will share any medical information gathered during our health checks and observations revealed during their time in care. But it is important to know that some illnesses can have an incubation period of 10 days, which means that a cat can leave in good health but get sick a few days post adoption. In addition, the stress of a new environment can affect a cats’ immune system.
