Fidget

My story

Fidget, a very handsome 6-year-old boy, was surrendered to MWHS and is now in search of his forever home. Fidget went through an unfortunate event that brought him to the shelter, something he wasn't too happy about initially. It took him time to adjust and build trust with the people taking care of him. But once Fidget had his breakthrough, he became the best boy. After moving him into a foster home, he revealed his true personality, which is actually quite endearing. Fidget can still be reactive to new sounds or situations he's uncomfortable with (like being held if he doesn't trust you completely yet), but his body language is very clear, and he gives signals if something bothers him, or if he's scared by noise. As he becomes more comfortable with you, he turns into a very chill cat who loves all kinds of attention, from being held to full belly rubs. He can be a bit stubborn when he wants something and isn't shy about letting you know it! Fidget can become a full lap cat and a great companion who enjoys following you around. Even though he's 6, he still enjoys short play sessions, which he needs, especially since he's a bit chubby (no judgment here). Fidget also loves being brushed, and even though he has short hair, he will need some brushing sessions because he loves it, and it helps him stay comfortable. This sweet boy is looking for a quiet forever home with someone who can be gentle and patient with him, and ideally, someone who's home most of the time to keep him company. Don't worry, he'll make sure to interview you as well to ensure you're the right match for him (you may choose Fidget, but he also needs to choose you). Fidget would do best as the only cat in the home so he can fully enjoy the attention of his future "servants" and reign over his kingdom (because, as you may already know, you'll be living in his house, not yours). *** We want to be fully transparent about a health issue Fidget has had in our care. During a pre-dental screening, his blood work showed he was diabetic. At this time, he was not symptomatic. We treated him with insulin for about a month, and he went into remission. It is unknown if he will become diabetic again, but he could. The benefit here is this is something a veterinarian can monitor easily. Fidget is doing very well with watching his diet and at this time he is not on any prescription food.*** To learn more about him, you can also watch his video: https://youtu.be/aK-ehZIxgTI As we are closed to the public, adoptions are by appointment only.
