Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Lucky Lou is a gentle guy who was brought to ACCT as a stray, when he was found in the back of a kind stranger's truck. His finder was initially concerned about the way Lucky was walking, but we suspect it relates more to the fact that Lucky has a vision impairment.

Behavior Notes:
Per owner surrender notes 5/9: He loves to be rubbed, he loves sitting on your lap. Medium-high energy. Not litter trained. No behavioral concerns just little problems and eating our food, trying eating everything but his food and tried multiple brands until we find what he likes. Has nibbled/bitten feet. Reaction to children: He's really good, sleeps.

Per staff 2/12: In his kennel, Lucky is quiet and shy, unable to see hands moving towards him. But with some gentle pets, Lucky warms up quickly, leaning into kind touches. He's been a very brave patient for his exams, and our medical team reported no issues with his handling.

Medical Notes:
Lucky has a vision impairment.
