Meet GORDON
GORDON is a very cool 7 to 9 year old BROWN TABBY DOMESTIC LONGHAIR male cat with mild cerebellar hypoplasia. He weighs 9 lbs. He is neutered, FeLV/FIV negative, has both vaccines and has his claws.

Gordon came to us from Indiana where he was saved by a good Samaritan, and unfortunately that is all the history we have on this boy.

The cerebellar hypoplasia causes Gordon to walk with more pronounced steps and causes him to have some head shakes. However, it doesn’t slow him down at all. Gordon gets around great! He can walk on all flooring and climb carpeted, closed-backed stairs. Gordon likes to climb up and sit by you on furniture and sleep in bed with you.

Gordon enjoys playing with toys on his own and can play with the laser light and wand toy. He eats dry and canned food and likes the occasional piece of meat that you might share with him. He also loves to watch the birds and squirrels.

Gordon is fine with other nice cats once he gets to know them. He is good with small dogs that ignore him, and would prefer a quiet adult home.

ADOPTION FEE $50. FOSTERED IN GURNEE, IL

Gordon's adoption will take place at the Gurnee PetSmart.
