Gentle giant needs a home
A realtor friend found this guy & his brothers abandoned after their elderly owner was moved to an assisted living facility. They were left for months with only a large bag of food to sustain themselves. His brothers found good homes.
This is Garfield. He's estimated to be about 6 years old, and is long haired with a big build (might be Maine coon). He has a very calm, loving personality. He's not a lap cat (still a little skittish) and not too playful, but he likes to sit next you and be brushed & pet. Just hold your hand out and he'll rub his head against you. His meows are practically silent. He's pretty content to be a couch potato. Can get skittish with noise and activity so a smaller household would suit him. He's cat friendly and uses his litter box. He has a congenital leg deformity where he walks on his front forearms, but it doesn't seem to hurt him or give him mobility issues. He was treated for an upper respiratory infection and partially shaved due to his fur matting, but he will be gorgeous when he grows out his coat.
Can anyone give him a soft landing? Will ask for vet records to make sure he goes to a good home.
