Hello everyone! This is Jordan, your friendly neighborhood veterinary receptionist taking over the social media page for a moment. I'd like to you introduce you to my friend, Tom. The Cat Distribution System sent him to me just under a month ago as I was getting ready to come to work for the day. My posts to the lost/found Pittsburgh pets pages were not responded to, and since then Tom has been vaccinated, neutered, and microchipped.
Tom has a lot of positive qualities, but unfortunately he is FIV-positive. FIV is transmitted through cat bites, and my resident orange cat loves biting (much to my chagrin), so Tom is not a good fit for my household. Baby gate introductions with my cats and greyhound have gone very well and I am confident that Tom would make a good addition to any household, whether if it's as an only pet or there are other pets in the household.
Tom is a very sweet boy and his favorite thing, by far, is being pet. His second favorite thing seems to be food. Tom will let you know that he is happy about these things by drooling. He is also a fan of catnip toys and feather wand toys. He is not good at jumping, from what I can tell - he tends to place his front legs down first and then hoist himself up.
If you are interested in meeting Tom, please reach out to me (Jordan) via the clinic email address, which is [email protected] and I'd love to set up a meet-and-greet. I would send him to his new home with a cat water fountain, food, a few toys, and paper pellet litter to set him up for success. Thank you for reading!
