Hootie is a friendly, funny lanky guy who loves to play–hard. He’s very athletic and the red dot doesn’t stand a chance against him. He’s pretty shy at first but warms up quickly. He’s a “kitty parkour” master, jumping and swinging from his cat tree and perches, especially during a bout of the zoomies. He enjoys being eye level with you. He likes to shrink away, flatten himself out and army crawl when you give him pets. He seems to like the attention, and it’s just an odd quirk. You can actually “pet” him with your voice and have him falling over and rolling around on his back. He does not want to be held, but will tolerate a few seconds of it with some vigorous head scratches.
***Hootie unfortunately has stomatitis which makes him special needs. He will need a special home that can keep an eye on his gum health and know when he needs to see a vet for his comfort. Following 6 extractions in May 2025, his dental health is much improved. We are currently using Maxi Guard Dental Gel to keep the inflammation in his gums minimized. At his annual vet visit in December, the vet was very pleased with his gum health and suggested we keep doing what we are to mitigate the progression of the disease.***
Hootie would do best with no kids or older kids and may befriend a docile dog, though he’s never been around dogs before. He needs to go to a home with another cat.
Hootie is being fostered for Blue’s Mews Siamese Cat Rescue. The adoption application can be found at https://bluesmews.org/adoption-application.
