Mr. Kotter

My story

What a character! ...And he has several vocalizations! Once he knows you, he will want to be in your lap all the time. Comes running when hears recliner. Mr. Kotter was rescued from under a school that was being closed when he was only three weeks old. He was one of five from the same location. He is a hefty (12#) white and black cat now (born about 4/24/12).. Mr. Kotter is a very nice cat that deserves a home of his own for the rest of his years. We take any adult cat back and return fee within 30 days if you don't think you will love him. Mr, Kotter has been a shy cat, so wasn't shown much. Then a lady insisted, so we placed him. Mature cats need an average of three weeks to stop believing they are lost. Their internal GPS keeps them frightened and feeling lost. During that time, a new owner needs to confine their new cat and romance it. Food, treats, petting & loving during this time offer an ideal opportunity to bond. If they are not confined, though, there is no opportunity to develop this bond, so he was returned. Since he demonstrated to us that he was adoptable to a patient home and he wants very much to be a lap cat, we went to a regular vet for extensive check up and senior blood-work earlier this year. No issues were found. He likes Omar (nurturing) but fears Caesar (aggressive). He spent his early kitten-hood in a doggy daycare, so might be fine with a friendly dog or two, gently introduced. He was handled then by a granddaughter, but there aren't any children in our home now. Susanne 480-694-9998
