    Tripod biscuit maker seeks full time loving home!

    Rick is an 8-year-old tabby cat that will use 67% of his remaining limbs to make biscuits on you whenever you're nearby. That's right, this sweet fella only has three legs, but that doesn't let him stop him from living a full and happy life. In fact, his foster says that Rick may not even know he only has three legs! He is still a super playful cat that will surprisingly run around chasing strings and cat dancer toys and will jump on your (lowest) furniture and make himself comfortable.

    Rick is so affectionate that he sometimes starts purring just by staring at you. Nights are filled with him climbing on your back and making biscuits nonstop. Rick is missing a few teeth after a dental extraction so he sometimes has a little bit of drool when he purrs viciously (he's so in love that he'll drool over you!). In the morning, expect him to wake up next to you and start purring until you get out of bed, when he'll start chirping and meowing at you for food. Despite him missing several teeth, he's perfectly content with eating dry food. Maybe he also doesn't know he's missing several teeth? He's a bit aloof.

    Rick has had minimal exposure to dogs but he did not do well then, so it's recommended that he go to a dog-free home. He has no experience with kids but he does ok with being occasionally held and carried. He's never had any litter box issue and he can get inside a regular litter box with no problem despite his missing leg.

    Give this tripod a spot in your home and he'll soon park his entire butt in your heart!
