Mr. Wither’s Story

Mr. Withers
Domestic Shorthair
Male, 4 years old

Hi, I'm Mr. Withers! I am estimated to be around 4 years old. I was brought to the vet by a nice man who was feeding me. I liked him a lot and let him pet me all the time. He took me to the vet to get me neutered and vaccinated so I wouldn't get sick, and unfortunately we found out I have FIV.

I took a few beatings when I was on the streets as I used to be a house cat and when I found myself outside... well, you know how it is. It's fight club and you have to stick up for yourself. My foster mom can tell I was a house cat too because I have very good manners.

FIV is no biggie if you understand it. Rumor has it... I can live a long life if I am kept as an indoor kitty and get proper vet care... you know, clean my teeth and what not to keep my heart healthy etc!

Before I got to my foster I had a rough stint in solitary confinement. I was kept at the vet for 10 days and it was not a good experience for me. I was very scared and my crate was very dirty. I'm a cat, I don't like eating where I poop! Do you blame me? After a few days of not being able to stand and walk around and being in a small carrier, I was NOT HAPPY. This was prison for me. Then some lady came and picked me up. She decided to give me a chance even though I wasn't smelling great at the moment. She brought me to her house and let me out .

I was soooo happy! Like a different cat! I got some pets from her and her husband and played with some toys! I got tons of treats too. I have completely transformed! I am now not afraid anymore and love attention and affection! My foster mom kisses me nonstop and I spoon next to her every night. Sometimes I have to push her kisses away but I'm sure to do it gently.

I also LOVE to sit on your lap. I'm completely cool with female cats and dogs. If you are an experienced cat owner who can love me forever... I would love to get to know you! I deserve a happy home. I never pee outside my box either.... :))) Just sayin.
