Magpie

Want a young cat who would look good sporting an eye patch? Love a good rescue story? Like those cute peets?? Make Magpie's rag-to-riches tale complete by giving him a loving home. Magpie was found as a tiny kitten along a busy highway in the summer of 2023, hiding in the bush, darting in and out of traffic. He and three siblings had been tossed on the road, and by the time someone stopped, only Magpie was left alive. His first night in rescue was scary. Emaciated, weak, and half-blind, we did all we could to make sure he made it another 24 hours. And he did. And very quickly he showed us what a TOUGH and loving boy he is. Not only did he recover fast and quickly gained weight, but his infection cleared up too. Though he did lose one eye, there has been no need for additional surgery per his vet. His other eye is bright and healthy. Magpie ALSO had a hernia - HAD. This is very common (think of an outie belly button) It's been surgically repaired. We just want his new people to know that he does have a little tummy scar. In the end, we think the pirate vibe suits this very playful and energetic tabby who KNOWS he's boss. He plays with big and small cats alike. We think he will be cool with kids, but dogs have made him nervous in the past. A calm, disinterested dog MAY be okay. Magpie likes to be in charge, so he would do great with another kitty or two his own age or any easygoing adult cat. Beyond that, his needs are easy. Magpie is NOT special needs - but he is special. He might need his eyes checked again in the future, if there is any discomfort in his missing socket. At this time he does not need ANY additional medication or care, per his vet. Magpie has been neutered and has his rabies shot, 3 distemper shots, and microchip. All Monkey Cats rescues are defleaed and dewormed on intake, and as needed.
