King Louie and Baloo

My story

FOSTERED IN: Bolingbrook, IL 60440 ESTIMATED DOB: 2013 COLOR/BREED: Tabby & White Shorthair KIDS: Older DOGS: Possible CATS: No HISTORY: King Louie was surrendered with his buddy Baloo to the animal control facility they were originally adopted from years ago. ABOUT: Ways to King Louie’s heart: Food, Play, Pets. That’s it. He’s a simple guy. Although King Louie is around 12 years old, he is still quite energetic - despite his round physique. His favorite saying is “round is a shape” if people ask him if he is in shape. He loves to hide in his tunnel toy and pop out to grab you. (If he asks, you never saw it coming!) He also enjoys chasing wand toys. King Louie doesn’t love being picked up, but he does thoroughly enjoy pets and attention. King Louie is front-paw declawed, but he still likes to “scratch” the scratching post. King Louie will never be late for dinner. His favorite food is the one he is eating when you ask. He will do best in a home that can portion his meals out throughout the day or else he might try to convince you he is staaarrrvvviinnggg. King Louie needs to be adopted with his buddy Baloo. They’ve been through a lot together. Their personalities complement each other and they really enjoy being together. King Louie has appointed himself Baloo’s protector. If he feels that Baloo is threatened he will waddle over and confront the threat…he is declawed, so we aren’t sure what he thinks he’s going to do - but he’s-a-coming. (Baloo’s protection strategy is to roll over and play dead.) King Louie isn’t being fostered with any children. His foster home thinks he would do well in homes with kids 9+ as he will gently bite when overstimulated. King Louie feels threatened/stressed by the other cats in his foster home so he will do best living only with his bestie Baloo. King Louie has met the resident dog and doesn’t seem very concerned about him - just keeps his distance. He might do ok in a home with a calm dog who will mostly ignore him. King Louie has gone through a lot of changes as a senior - from a home - to a shelter - to a foster home. King Louie was having some accidents, but after starting an anti-anxiety medication he hasn’t had any accidents and seems much happier. He happily takes his medicine hidden inside a bit of his wet food. King Louie must be adopted with his buddy Baloo - if you think this duo is perfect for you can find information about our adoption process and our adoption application at www.luluslockerrescue.org.
