Adopt Jackson, 10 yr old male declawed cat on long island
Jackson is an affectionate, friendly, declawed 10 year old black/brown tiger tabby cat that was abandoned. Jackson has been living on the streets of Long Island, NY for at least a year, maybe longer. he loves to be held, petted, brushed, and have belly rubs. Head butts for more affection. Eats well (dry and wet) and NO litter box issues. Gets along fine with other cats.! As it turns out, Jackson is a very healthy (FIV/FeLV negative, free of fleas and mites, has had de-worming meds.) Jackson is having dental surgery on 3/22. Some teeth will be pulled and the rest cleaned. He will get 10 days of antibiotics. After that, Jackson will be as good as new! Because Jackson was outside for at least a year (and maybe longer), he must be placed in a home that is secure and with someone who will not let him outside. He is still transitioning from outdoor to indoor and requires someone willing to work with Jackson to "re-train" him. He is very vocal about wanting to go outside. meow! He has been through a lot! He needs a new foster or home in early April. Transport can be arranged, but would prefer NY, CT, NJ, PA so that a house check can be done by me when kitty is dropped off. However, all good offers will be considered! please email Patty at peetieb@aol.com if you can help him.
