Meet Timothy
Are you the superhero that our sweet boy Timothy has been looking for? Timothy needs a quiet home with a loving family that is willing to spoil him. He's a really sweet cat and is ready for some TLC.

Timothy is an exotic shorthair adult cat, which is a shorthair version of the fancy breed most commonly known as Persian. Because of this he has a pushed-in face and is a brachycephalic breed, meaning that he has some breathing problems as a result of having the nose and eyes in close proximity to each other. He also has a deformity in his chest which makes him struggle with eating sometimes.

Despite these difficulties, Timothy is an absolute sweetheart. He's quiet and calm, but loves to play! He's got a wonderfully soft coat and loves to be pet. He prefers soft food and sometimes needs to be syringe fed because his breathing and chest deformity can make it uncomfortable to eat on his own. However, he is an absolute doll and doesn't mind being held for this. We would also recommend a raised bowl so that he doesn't have to bend down to eat.

Timothy qualifies for our special needs adoption rate of $95. He is not currently on any medication but should go to a home that will keep up with his vetting and monitor his eating. He is up to date medically, tests negative for FIV/FELV, is neutered and microchipped. The only thing missing is you! Apply today at https://service.sheltermanager.com/asms ... &formid=28
