Description:
IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN ADOPTING, PLEASE FILL OUT OUR ADOPTION APPLICATION AT TCRESCUE.COM/ADOPT Butterscotch is a young adult, neutered grey tabby born approximately 9/20/22. Butterscotch was trapped with his siblings from a dumpster as kittens, with respiratory infections. He had to receive medicine daily for weeks, and because of this, he i s still a shy boy. He is cat sociable and is fine being within 5 feet of you, but does not like to be touched, unless it is on his terms. He will come up to you for pets when he feels you are incapacitated- aka sitting on the couch or lying in the bed. He also enjoys snuggling on the bed at night, and will purr very loudly once he starts getting scritches behind his ears. He is an observer for the most part, but he's a sweet boy and would benefit from having a home of his own where he can blossom into a more playful snuggle bug. Butterscotch has a beautiful ombre brown and grey striped coat with yellow green eyes. He really loves to play with his siblings and snuggle with the older cats. He is not bothered at all by the rough housing of the dogs in the house, and will often snuggle up to them when they are trying to nap. His favorite toy is a crackly fabric mouse and his favorite resting spot is atop the couch cushions. Butterscotch would do best with another cat or calm dog in the home, and no children or high-energy households. He has been exposed to feline calicivirus and feline herpes and is likely a carrier for these feline viruses so the best home for Butterscotch will be a home with someone who understands the possibility that he could have "breakouts"- however, in the year he has been with his foster, he has shown NO outward symptoms of having these viruses. Cats with feline herpes or calicivirus may exhibit symptoms or flareups ranging in severity, randomly or in times of stress throughout their life.
