Austin

Domestic Short Hair Tabby

BIG PURR MONSTER!

Fostered in Woodbury, NJ

NEEDS SPONSORS

Austin is affectionate, playful and sweet. His cool half meow/half growl is very unique. But his unusual appearance and his health problems have prevented him for getting a home.

Austin suffered some physical and mental trauma while attempting to survive outside. First, his ears are deformed due to multiple injuries. He is also FIV+, which means his health has to be watched a bit more closely. He was diagnosed with a thyroid condition in 2/08, so he needs daily medication.

But what a love he is, and what a wonderful friend he would be!

HISTORY: Austin was caught in a humane trap in a condo complex in February 2007. Skinny and barely surviving outside, he was brought into our program just days before a horrible cold snap.

FAVORITE TOYS: Catnip filled sock and the "ball in the track" (which he loves to play WITH you).

DISLIKES: Being picked up.

LIKES: Much petting, being played with and talked to, eating cat treats, sleeping on top of you! Also loves to walk on a harness thru the yard and roll in dirt!
