Description:
Felix came to our shelter after being hit by a car and left for dead in the street.  He was brought to the nearest vet hospital- a mangled mess of broken bones and road rash and he was in shock.  Once stabilized, we learned that one of Felixs back legs was badly broken. At the advice of the veterinarian, Felixs leg was amputated to save his life.  Within a few days, we sadly learned that Felixs road rash damaged front leg (on the same side of his body) was completely paralyzed.

Felix has been evaluated by multiple veterinarians- two orthopedic surgeons, an anesthesiologist who specializes in sports medicine and physical rehabilitation, and two general practitioners.  We have even contacted three different companies that make prostheses for animals- all of which told us that cats in general are not candidates for protheses or carts.

Felix has spent the last seven months in foster care learning how to get around with his "special set of legs."  He cannot climb high, but he can get into low level cat trees.  Felix uses a lower profile litter box without issue.  He eats like a champ and is a champion lap sitter.  Felix LOVES other kitties- especially one who will snuggle with him.

Felix is looking for a special home. No small kids (simply because he cannot be tripped over).  Older kids would be great.  NO DOGS.  Felix does NOT like dogs.  Felix needs a home without stairs.  He cannot land on his feet if he falls. And lastly, Felix needs a home where he will have a feline companion. He does not like being a solo cat.  He is 100% perfect in all ways that count.  

Felix is about 1-2 years old (maybe younger). He is neutered, vaccinated for rabies and distemper, microchipped, feline leukemia/FIV negative, and is current on flea/tick preventative.
