13th Street Cat Rescue

Rush is very cuddly and playful. A short hair, black kitty, when he wants attention he will come over and meow at you until you notice him. He doesn't mind being picked up but tends to hold on a little tighter due to only having 3 legs and no tail, his main use of his front paws is to hoist himself up onto things.

The only thing he does not tolerate is nail clippings, I think due to his trauma his paws are a sensitive spot for him and doesn't enjoy having them touched.

Despite only having 3 legs and no tail, he has no issues using the litter box on his own. He has never had an accident and he hasn't had an issue with the different types of litters we have had to use.

He is neutered and indoor only. Because of his past he would not do well with small children

When we first got him my parents had basset hounds that he got along okay with, they were mellow and left him alone, I don't think he would do well with larger/energetic dogs

He was originally adopted for my mom's female cat we had at the time and they got along great, unfortunately they had to give up both cats and we took Rush due to his special needs. When we took him in we already had another neutered male cat. We took all the necessary steps in introducing them and he has only shown aggression towards him. I think this is mainly due to the small space and the possibility that our male cat lets off an odor due to his medical condition.

Rush is very stressed in his current living situation. I think it would be best for him to go to a big home with only him unless they have the time and space to give him.

We are moving to a smaller apartment at the end of the month and I don't think it would be fair to them to keep them in this stressful environment for an unknown amount of time.

Rush weighs 10.14 pounds and is up to date on all of his shots (he did amazing at the vets and let them look over his body and check his teeth with no issue).

With all that being said Rush, alone, is an absolute angel. He’s the sweetest, most talkative boy who will eat anything. He loves to cuddle and play with his string toys. He loves anything with feathers that moves. He looooooves his food, he has even learned some tricks for food and will eat almost anything you offer him (chicken nuggets are his favorite).

He’s loud when he’s hungry and he’ll make sure you know it’s feeding time. He gets around on his own just fine, he climbs to the top of our 6ft cat tree no problem. He uses the litter box on his own and the cat scratchers just fine. He really is a very good boy when it’s just him. It breaks my heart we couldn’t get him to be comfortable with our other cat. He loves to go outside and bird watch with his harness on. At nighttime he likes to get right next to or on top of you and knead away with the loudest purrs. He’s a very goofy boy who will throw a fit if you walk by him without saying hi, he’ll throw himself to the ground and reach a paw out as you pass!! He’s got a big personality and a big meow to go with it! He doesn’t like when you close the door on him and likes to follow everyone into the bathroom. He’s never turned away any cat food we’ve given him and loves to take bits of anything you’re having (as long as it’s safe for him to eat). Because Rush is such a shy boy with lots of anxiety, a big, quiet home with just him would suit him best. He loves widow perches and we have a pet staircase for him to reach one of the windowsills for him to watch the birds outside. Let me know if you have any questions or need anything else from me. I want to do everything I can to get him to a good home where he can have the space to roam around and play and get all the cuddles he deserves.
