He has been neutered and is up to date on all vaccinations. He has tested positive for heartworms, but since it was a light positive, he was put on heartworm pills rather than the poison used in normal HW treatments, and when he goes for his 6 month recheck the vet believes that he should be heartworm negative at that time. In the mean time, no major running around, but that is fine with him! He loves to snuggle on the couch and run in the yard! Simply adores walks with you! Very intelligent and eager to please!

Figgy
- Animal Name: Figgy
- Listing Date: 08/06/2010
- Date of Birth: 06/2006
- Weight: ~18 lbs
- Breed: DSH
- Physical Description: Classic orange tabby a la Garfield (does not eat lasagna)
- Personality Description: Figgy really wants a new home, as his current foster dad does not love him or take care of him properly. His original caretaker (Rebecca) sustained a back injury and has been unable to work, and cannot keep him, though she loves him dearly. Figgy would love to share play time, head scratches, and brushing with you. He's fine with other cats, and even enjoys a good cuddle with them.
- Spayed/Neutered: yes
- Vaccinations: will be given before adoption
- Animal History: Rebecca took him in as a stray kitten. He had a serious surgery 5 years ago due to having crystals in his urine. He's been fine ever since and eats Feline C/D to prevent further problems.

- Weight: 2.5 lbs.
- Breed: DSH

- Animal History: Found as a stray on 31 May 2010 on a yard bordering Murray Avenue. Paka made it very clear that he wanted to come home with us! He has received lots of love and socialization. We would keep Paka, but we live in a small house with three cats already—one of them with special needs. We simply cannot give four cats all of the individual attention each deserves. Please consider giving Paka-with-a-heart-of-gold a forever home!
