These two lovable lads are not related but through lucky circumstances they found each other in foster care and have become best buddies! They would love to find their forever home- together! The play tag, wrestle and nap together, and both really needed some feline companionship prior to their introduction, so we can tell they really benefit from having each other for company.
Track Star is no Usain Bolt, but he is an adorable teen cat with a love for zoomies! Track Star is an 11 month old tri-pawed kitty with lots of love and cuddles to give (seriously, he's a cuddler, as I write this bio he is curled up on my lap purring away). Along with being a world class snuggler, Track Star also has a gold medal in kitten energy. He loves to run around and play with his stuffed toys and ribbon wand.
Track Star came to PAWS with a wound of unknown origin, and unfortunately had to have his back left leg amputated. Since his surgery in late January, his healing process has gone smoothly and he has adapted quickly to his tri-pawed life! He is having a fine time getting around, and will not need any accommodations due to his amputation.
Jack is just as loving as he is energetic, and he spends his days chasing his wand toy, chirping at birds from the windowsill, and plopping himself right down on top of you, no matter what you're up to. Jack will wiggle his way into your heart before you get a chance to blink-he's irresistible! He's the perfect combo of kitten energy and cozy lap cat, and he woos everyone he meets.
Jack is a wonderfully social guy who has so much love to give all new friends, especially those that will play with him! He fills the room with personality, zooming around and doing acrobatics, and then letting it all hang loose with his hysterical belly up sleeping positions. He can get a little nippy and scratchy when he gets overexcited while playing. He's getting much better with the appropriate redirection, but because of this, we don't recommend him to live in a home with small children.
**Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV) is a virus that is specific to cats that attacks and weakens a cat's immune system. Cats with FeLV can live normal, happy, healthy lives-with a shorter life expectancy than cats without FeLV. In the past, cats with FeLV in shelters were euthanized as soon as they were diagnosed. PAWS takes a different stance: we enable FeLV+ cats to live out their lives in loving homes. For more information feel free to check out the FeLV FAQs we have available on our website!**
