Joshua

My story

Joshua found under a tree during a thunderstorm. Joshua was almost unresponsive and needed immediate medical care. Early in life, this poor little guy has struggled with maintaining his weight and staying hydrated. While in rescue, he was diagnosed with seizure disorder, but happily, he has responded brilliantly to his daily anti-seizure medication and hasn’t had a seizure since his medication was started in summer 2024. Joshua is a quirky lil guy. When overstimulated or stressed, he becomes overwhelmed and quickly seeks food as a way to sooth his anxiety (don’t we all?). He has kitty OCD, which makes him highly focused on daily routines and habits. But, as Joshy has gotten older, his quirks have smoothed out a bit. These days, he will join you on the couch in the evenings for some pets and company, he will play with a teaser toy, and he even gives lip kisses - but sometimes he misses. But given all of that, Joshua is simply the sweetest lil guy and everyone absolutely adores him. He is wonderful with dogs (and cats), of any temperament, because he really doesn’t pay any attention to anything except his food. Joshua is a long-haired tuxedo.
