Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption

Looking for love? Looking for VERY love, very Pet Me Pet Me Pet Me love? Plumley-Bruce isn't "Velcro" - he's not joined to you at the hip - but he'll make you feel like the center of the universe to him in many ways, some listed below. Please check out the description and, if interested in him, please send in your answers to the questions asked at the end (please email me at philoctete@mailbug.com with your answers in the email and not attached as a file) and we can set up a FaceTime meeting between you and PB (FaceTiming is not an essential part of adoption - I just thought you might like it, and he likes video-conferencing as long as the focus is on him)! Thank you for your time and your interest in this doggily devoted rescue cat.

Yes, Plumley-Bruce follows you around, comes to you when you call for him, watches your hands' every move to make sure they're petting him, will stand on his back legs if you are slow to get the Pet Me hint, will even let you hold him belly-side up in your arms, and loves doing lots of nose-to-nose nuzzles with you. But what's love without laughter? Set up a chair by your front door and when you come home you'll find him sitting on it waiting for your return! You'll enjoy how he sits outside the bathroom door waiting for you when you close the door for a little privacy, how he sits on a chair at your dining table when he's waiting to be fed, and how when he's not sleeping politely against your leg in bed, he's watching over you from your headboard (if your bed has one, that is). It'll make you laugh to find out how difficult it is to take pictures of him (because when he sees you with your camera, he comes up to you, spoiling the shot), and it MAY amuse you when he butts the phone or book out of your hand because he bonks it so hard with his head (his forceful, highly interactive headbutts make him perhaps not the best choice for a small child, who might find them very forceful indeed). Your sense of humor will appreciate how, when he senses you are about to get up and leave his side, he snuggles even closer against you as though meaning to be a paperweight holding you in place, and how when you get up and need to leave, he jumps up and gets between you and the door, mewing softly and rubbing your legs to entreat you to stay with him longer.

He's fastidious about the litterbox and RAVENOUS about food, a legacy from his life before he was rescued from competitive street-life as a stray. It's thought that he is about 2 or 3 years of age and that he lived most or even all of that time homeless, because he still eats as though he doesn't know when his next meal might be and as though he has to protect it from others crowding around to take it.

Plumley-Bruce is a joy, with one special need. He has tested "weak positive" for FeLV and for FIV, which suggests that his feline leukemia and feline immunodeficiency are in remission. The vet who tested him wanted to make it clear that, contrary to the feline leukemia MYTH, other cats are in no danger of contracting leukemia from living in close contact with him. His adopter will definitely want to support his health with healthy diet and an immune-boosting supplement placed in his cherished meals. The vet says there is no reason why he can't live a long and normal life, when he receives this care. I can hook you up with people who have adopted leukemia positive kitties from me ("the best decision I ever made - you won't regret it!") so that if you want to be you can be part of a community.

If interested in being the center of the universe for one plush, lustrous, well-upholstered, very well-groomed buddy, please send in your answers to the questions below - thanks!


1. What diet would you feed him - dry? Wet? Canned? Raw/homemade? What ratio of dry to wet, and would you leave dry food out all the time? Please mention what BRANDS you'd feed. Thanks!

2. What type/brand of litter and what kind of water would you offer him?

3. Do you have any experience with cats who have tested positive for feline leukemia or who have special needs? If so, please explain.

4. What sort of home would he share with you? Who else besides you and him (if anyone) would be in the home (please mention humans and non-humans).

5. Would he be indoor, outdoor, or both?

6. What are your views, pro or con, on neutering/spaying?

7. What are your views, pro or con, on declawing?

8. Under what circumstances would you decide you wanted Affectionate Adoptions to take him back? (Please do not put him on the streets or in a shelter if you decide he is no longer to be part of your family/household.)

9. Please say something about yourself - what your source of income or job or profession is, your hobbies/interests/leisure pursuits, your age or approximate age. Thanks!

10. {Optional} Is there anything about Plumley-Bruce, in the visual material or the description of him, that particularly "speaks to" or appeals to you?
