Story
Domestic Short Hair; Male; 2 years Big Paw is a handsome and spunky guy looking for a new family to give all of his love to. He can be a bit shy at first, but it won’t take long until he’s asking for tons of chin scratches and head rubs. When he is not cozying up for a nice cuddle session, he loves chasing around his cat toy quickly pouncing on his prize, though he can be a bit clumsy sometimes. But his absolute favorite thing is indulging himself to some tasty treats, especially when they come from his favorite people. Big Paw first came to his foster with a urethral obstruction that has thankfully been resolved, but as a result he does need to be on a special diet for the rest of his life of Royal Canin S/O to prevent any reoccurrences. He currently lives with a small dog that he gets along with great and while he loves his canine companions, he would be best suited as the only feline in your life. For more information or if you are interested in adopting please contact Julie Jones at 1(760)-500-3966 or jujones@ucdavis.edu
