This big boy has a big personality to match. He is very affectionate and loves to sit on his foster mom and cuddle with her. She can even pick him up and carry him around the house. He's such a character and keeps her laughing with his antics. (Check out his VIDEO)
Now let's be frank...
He is nicknamed Frankie Chompers for a reason. He likes to nip. He doesn't do it hard enough to break skin. Perhaps he gets overstimulated or he is checking to see if you'll still love him no matter what.
He also HATES other cats, perhaps from his rough life on the streets before rescue.
He is also FIV positive, which does not require treatment in and of itself.
Now he's the hard truth...Frankie had a tumor removed that was cancer. It was on his leg, and he was able to keep his leg. But the cancer could come back, and if or when it does, it will likely be a very aggressive cancer.
Frankie is looking for someone who will love and take the best care of him forever, however long that may be.
We would love to find that special person to ADOPT him, but we are also willing to place him with someone as a long-term foster (hospice care, if needed). Either way, we are looking for someone who can commit to him, as we want his next move to be to a "forever" home.
If you’re looking for a loyal companion with a survivor’s spirit and a lap-cat heart, Frankie is ready to be your once-in-a-lifetime best friend. He deserves the good life.
All FURR Cats & Kittens are seen by a vet before being posted online and have been:
Spayed / Neutered to help control the pet population
Microchipped to help ensure your best friend can be brought home if lost.
Vaccinated; FVRCP (Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis, Calicivirus, Panleukopenia) & Rabies (which is legally required in most states). These will need to be kept current after adoption.
Tested Negative for FIV & FELV unless otherwise noted on their profile
Treated with de-wormer, anti-parasitics, flea baths & prevention, ear mites and anything else our vet deems needed for good health. This can sometimes include antibiotics and eye/upper respiratory medicines, etc.
Many of our fosters also use pre/probiotics and vitamins to fully support their tiny immune systems during transitions.
