Nicotine

My story

NAME: Nicotine Sex: male Color/Pattern: Black & white Breed: domestic shorthair Weight: 6lbs at 6 months old Age at intake: 9-10 weeks BDAY approx: ~April 20, 2024 Intake date : June 16, 2024 Coat length: short Quirks: 3 and a half legs Description Nicotine is an affectionate, quiet, black and white cutie-pie. He has a bum rear leg that doesn't stop him from getting around whatsoever. Personality Nicotine is a quiet kitty, but very friendly. He loves being pet, and leans into your hand. He isn't an extrovert who will come up and ask for affection, but once you give it to him, he is all in! He will wake up instantly from a deep sleep if he smells food. He is very food motivated and will leap tall buildings to be first to the food bowl. He is amazingly athletic considering that he is essentially 3 - legged. Nicotine's back leg had been broken very early in his life as a small kitten before he came to his GNAR foster home. XRays showed that it had already completely healed (but wrong), his leg's circulation and nerves were fine, and he had already adapted to it. So we chose to let it be rather than rebreak or amputate. He will be a great lap cat, and grateful companion. Nicotine is normally found sleeping in a box or behind furniture. He gets along great with all other cats, and adapts easily. Background Nicotine, his 3 littermates and a second litter of 2, were brought to their GNAR foster home from a good neighbor who said she had been unintentionally managing a colony of cats around her house. There were about 6 feral female cats that had given birth one right after the other and she had brought the kittens inside to keep them safe. She was in the process of getting the mothers spayed once the kittens were weaned, but was overwhelmed with 6 litters. So she brought 2 sets to a GNAR foster home. Compatibility Dogs - yes eventually Cats - yes Kids - yes
