Adopt a Domestic Medium Hair / Mixed (medium coat)

Hi, my name is


GG


(short for Gidget)!  I came to Brother Wolf through the Community Cat program, but they knew I had been an indoor cat at some point because my front paws have been declawed and I have been defanged.  As you can imagine, life was pretty rough for me when I was trying to survive outdoors.  I’m so thankful to be an indoor cat now!

I’ve lived a long life, but my foster family calls me a “15-year-old kitten” because of how wild I get when the mood strikes me.  Sometimes I have to be coaxed into play, but I sure have fun when I get going!  I can’t run and jump like I used to (I have arthritis), but I do love rolling around with a fun toy.  I've also had some mild asthma symptoms, but I'm doing really well right now with medicine.

I love living indoors again, and I love people so much.  What I’d love most is sharing a chair with you while you read or supervising while you meditate or watch TV.  Or sharing the bed while you sleep!  I may prefer it if you let me be the one to initiate affection, but I love to be talked to and petted on my head and neck and under my chin.  I may even crawl into your lap! I’m also happy to follow you around to help patrol the house from time to time.  Safety in numbers, I say!

My perfect future family would be one who knows how to be gentle and patient with me and understands that as much as I love them, I can get overstimulated sometimes because of the life I’ve led -- and being overstimulated can make me sassy!  But I will try to give gentle cues if I need a break from being handled.  I'm sure you can understand that the safer I feel, the better I am about being touched and picked up!  But forced attention can make me uncomfortable, so I’ll probably do best in a home without other pets (especially cats! *hiss*) or young children.  Contact my foster mom today to learn more about me!
