Hi… my name is Theodore. I'm around 12 years old. I know that these pictures aren’t flattering at all but unfortunately, right now with the condition I was in there’s not very many flattering opportunities. I was found abandoned in a plastic kennel at a special education school in northern Minnesota. even though I can write this bio I am not able to tell my foster family what happened to me. They like to assume that my past family could no longer care for me and due to rescues and shelters being so unbelievably full they did the best that they could for me to make sure that I got in two loving hands. I’m very thankful to say that I did. I was found by my fosters son‘s father (they have this weird thing called a blended family) Who brought me to the vet to look for a microchip they found one but unfortunately it led to a dead end. My human foster brother told his father to ask his mom for help because she saves everything…. So that’s how my foster mom who is very allergic to cats became my foster. I don’t tell you all of this because I want you to think my foster family is amazing I just think it’s important that my new family knows as much of my story as I can possibly say. My foster mom posted me everywhere including in my community to try to figure out the rest of my story promising not to judge my old family yet no one came forward. She held onto me for my stray hold and raised funds within the community so that I could get help immediately. She then reached out to several cat rescues to see if anybody would take me and hoping that a cat savvy foster would be available. Strangely this amazing dog rescue stepped up for me and that’s why I’m a cat within a dog rescue. I’m so thankful because I definitely didn’t bring anything to the rescue but they brought a whole lot to me in my life. So that’s my past now let me tell you who I am today! I am a sweet old man about 12 to 13 years old. We’re pretty confident in that age because we were able to reach my very first family through that dead end microchip. I like to just lay around and slowly meander through the house. I've decided that I like my foster humans and want them to pet me so I’ve been coming around them more often. I was declawed at some point in my life so scratching is not an issue. I really really like my food however I’ve been told I need to be on a diet. I’m not a fan of a diet so I’ve been coming out more to pester my foster mom hoping that I can annoy her enough to give me more food…
I recently had a dental including lots of teeth extracted but that hasn't slowed me down. I still like food! As I said I’m a very sweet boy. When I first came into my foster families home I was covered in those mats so my foster mom tried to cut them off I never ever went to bite her just swatted at her hands, hissed, and tried to run away. I even enjoy the company of the young children in my foster home. They love to pet me. I have discovered my love for sleeping in bed with the humans, however I'm not great at jumping. It takes me several tries to get up there. I guess the upside is I'll never get on your table or counters. My foster family got me pet stairs for the bed however I just think that it's another obstacle and don't use them.
I’m really really hoping that someone out there will see me as a amazing possible companion despite my age and despite the way I look right now. I may not ever get younger but my fur will definitely grow back!!! Please consider giving me a chance I don’t think you’ll regret it!
