Lucky

LUCKY is a personality-filled RED PERSIAN. He is seven years old, weighs about 11 pounds, is neutered and has his claws. He is up to date on his vaccines. He was surrendered to rescue because his family was unable to care for him.

Like the ember color of his coat, Lucky’s love is a slow burn. He takes his sweet time deciding who he will accept and when. Once he has earned your trust, he loves to be petted. He loves his foster mom because she feeds him, but his other favorites are randomly chosen. He loves the college kid who comes home only on the weekends. Lucky will practically do cartwheels of happiness when he’s around. Other household members often receive the cold shoulder.

He doesn’t particularly care to be held, but he doesn’t mind it. He will come scampering when his chosen friends call him, and makes the cutest little snorting (due to his squished face) and chattering noises. He is not a loud guy, or very active/playful. He likes to look out the window, mostly, and rest on warm blankets. His seemingly-angry little face is the stuff of social media kitty profile dreams.

He has had urinary blockages in the past, and eventually had a perineal urethrostomy. He has been prescribed urinary care food but does not like it, according to his previous owners. He has been a perfect gentleman with litterbox usage in foster care, is urinating well, and all looked well at a recent vet checkup.

Lucky’s Achilles’ heel is the vet. Lucky would rather do anything else than go to the vet. He’s fine with getting in his carrier and driving there but once he’s in the exam room and figures out what’s going on, he just wants to leave. Badly. He was able to be examined while in foster care with pre-visit sedation and a very skilled and prepared veterinary team. Taking Lucky to the vet is entirely possible, but requires preparation. Don’t let this quirk dissaude you – most humans don’t like going to the doctor either! He’s worth it.

He currently has a lion cut but seems ok with brushing and petting. One would assume future lion cuts would also require sedation.

Lucky is gradually getting used to his boisterous foster dog friend, but would really prefer a home without dogs. Although he’s never been around other cats before, he’s now completely fine/indifferent to the resident cat at his foster home. He doesn’t play with her much, but they do hang out and give each other the kitty side eye as they ponder life’s meaning.
