Finch is a handsome black cat who's all dressed up and ready to meet his new family! He is a refined gentleman who prefers a safe, quiet home. He loves playing with catnip toys!


UPDATE: by ST on 2/13/18


 


I wanted to give you a little update on Finch. He’s got the sweetest personality. With some more time to chill and spread out, he’s become loving and charming a sucker for being picked up and carried around. His fur is starting to grow back (though it’s still quite sparse on his belly and back legs) and he’s gained a bit of weight. 

 


 After some experimentation, we’ve figured out that he’s allergic to chicken, which makes him itch and overgroom, and intolerant to fish, which makes him sick to his stomach. We’re still working on finding something that he’ll consistently eat, but he’s doing okay on a science diet formula with eggs as the primary protein. We’re still trying him on some more novel proteins since it doesn’t look like this food is good for his long-term health. Next up: rabbit!

In the meantime, he’s a complete joy to have around.
