Franklin is a gorgeous tabby mix male cat born sometime between 8/16/2010 and 8/16/2013, we are not sure exactly how old he is but the vet believed likely on younger side between 5yrs and 8 yrs. Franklin is very affectionate and super smart. He is a relaxed dude who enjoys his super plush cat bed very much but also can be counted on to join you, by your side, watching movies, sports or shows. He just likes being next to his people. Franklin does not show fear towards people at all, despite the fact that he came from a hoarder situation and the person who surrendered him indicated a neighbor had shot him. And Franklin came to his foster family significantly underweight. Franklin has some scarring around an eye and was missing fur where he was presumably shot but the fur has grown back and he is a stunning looker. Franklin also drinks a lot of water and pees a lot. Although his blood work and urine analysis showed no signed of kidney or other problems, Franklin will need continuous access to lots of clean water to ensure he stays well hydrated and healthy. Franklin was also malnourished and underweight when he moved into his foster home, but he has gained over a pound and looks terrific. He is definitely a fighter and anticipates living a long healthy life with his forever family when he is adopted. Given the obvious signs of neglect and abuse, once Franklin realized he was in a safe home with people who would take excellent care of him, Franklin became a total love bug and completely trusting. Franklin has perfect litter box etiquette and he does use his box frequently because of his excessive drinking (of water!). He is pretty shy around other cats and dogs but once he realizes no one is going to hurt him and they just want to be his friend, he warms up to other cat-friendly pets. He does seem to prefer people though and has bonded tightly with his humans while largely ignoring or watching his furry foster family. Franklin is a gem of a cat, he deserves to spend the rest of his days in a loving forever home, safe and with plenty of plush blankets and beds for his frequent naps.
