King Bob

My story

King Bob was dumped on the streets of Phoenix in the middle of summer. Someone watched as a person kicked Bob in the rear so hard that he broke Bob’s tail and damaged his spinal cord so badly he can’t pee on his own anymore. This doesn’t stop Bob from being everyone’s best friend though. He is quick to love every new person that comes his way. Especially the ladies. We have been teaching Bob tricks. Right now he knows how to beg, spin, and jump on your back. He is very food motivated especially for freeze dried minnows, Churus and Delectables. He loves to play with laser pointers and wand toys. He is a very curious cat who loves to explore new areas. He really loves spending his time in a catio or climbing a cat tree. When you come home, he gets talkative and will tell you how much he missed you, even if you were gone for just a couple of minutes. Bob loves to travel. He has gone on lots of out of state car rides. Recently we started to introduce cat backpacks to him so that he can enjoy exploring even more new areas in a safe way. Bob’s tail has healed from the break and he has a little bit of movement in it. He still can’t pee on his own so he does need to be expressed 3 times a day. He can poop on his own. He takes lactulose 1-2 times a week well as 2 additional supplements to prevent him from getting UTIs. Bob's diet consists only of wet food. Bob’s ideal family wouldn’t have any dogs or other cats. He does well with calm children. It would be great if the adopter had experience expressing a cat bladder, but if not, we’d be happy to show you how it’s done. You’d come over regularly to do it with us until you are able to do it alone confidently. As you can see Bob does have quite a few medical needs, but once you get into the swing of things it’s actually easy to take care of him. Plus, seeing Bob being playful and loving life despite everything gives you tremendous satisfaction and fulfillment in life. He just wants a family who is willing to take that leap of faith so that he can show them how truly special he can be.
