Seymour the cat

Photo taken a few months ago with my cellphone. Please excuse the bad quality.
This is Seymour the cat and he definitely has a story to tell. When Kitten Rescue obtained him he was found abandoned in a crate at a carnival.

Ever since I knew him he had cage issues. Everytime I'd put him back he'd yammer his displeasure about being put back in that cage. He is definitely one of the coolest cats I've ever known. He really has an outgoing personality. In fact Mr. Personality was his name until someone changed it to Seymour. They even call him the King of PetSmart because everyone at the store just loves his personality. When he was at PetSmart he loved to take a walk (on a leash) around the store and people couldn't get over the sight of seeing a cat on a leash. So why has this cat not yet been adopted? No one knows! I'd snatch this cat up in a second if I didn't already have two neurotic cats and a small apartment. Seymour has been at PetSmart for many months and it seems to be very hard to place him in a forever home.

Here's where it gets heartbreaking. About two months ago Sandra, our lovely volunteer leader gave him to a guy that offered to foster him and possibly adopt him. This was great news because we knew how desperate Seymour was to get out of that cage and have some freedom. The man was not sure if he'd give Seymour a forever home but he thought he'd give it a try. The two became best friends and Seymour was in heaven. He loved his foster (and possibly permanent home). But after the two months were over the man decided to give Seymour back because his mother-in-law is allergic to cats. Don't get me started on this! Then the man should not have taken him in the first place.

Now that Seymour is back with Kitten Rescue he is a completely different cat...meaning that he has become more aggressive, he cries all day and all night and is extremely upset that he has been displaced once again. He was so happy where he was at only to have that happiness taken away from him again. At the moment he is at another foster home because he was very distressed when we had him at the PetSmart adoption center. Being with all the other cats set him off.

So if you are looking for a cat and are willing to be patient with cat as outgoing and vocal as Seymour, email Sandra Harrison here! or you can just reply to this entry. He really is an awesome cat. It's just that right now he needs someone who can be a cat whisperer. I know that many many homeless cats need forever homes but Seymour is a special case. He really needs to find some permanent stability in his life.
