Meet Gambit, a distinguished senior gentleman with a heart full of affection, patiently waiting to find his perfect forever home. Gambit isn’t just any cat; he’s a declawed Domestic Short Hair mix with a unique story and a lot of love to give. If you’re considering opening your heart and home to a cat who deserves a second chance, Gambit might just be the purrfect companion you’ve been searching for. Adopting a declawed cat like Gambit offers a wonderful opportunity to provide a loving environment for a deserving animal while sidestepping some common concerns about feline scratching.
Declawing is a significant procedure that removes a cat’s claws, and while Gambit came to us already declawed, it’s important to understand the implications. Declawed cats require specific care and understanding. They are often best suited to indoor-only homes to protect them, as they are less able to defend themselves outdoors. Despite being declawed in his past, Gambit hasn’t lost his capacity for love or his playful spirit. He embodies the resilience of cats and their ability to adapt and thrive.
Gambit arrived at Goathouse Refuge Inc. after his previous owner had to move into a nursing facility. This gentle soul is a senior, born around February 4, 2013, and has weathered life’s changes with grace. Adding to his incredible story, Gambit is currently in remission from diabetes! Thanks to the expert care of our veterinarian and a consistent wet food diet, Gambit is thriving. While it’s important to be aware that diabetes could potentially return, for now, Gambit is a healthy and happy cat requiring only diet management. This makes him a relatively low-maintenance senior cat in terms of health needs.
While Gambit has a lot of love to offer, he does have specific preferences for his ideal home. He would thrive best in a calm and quiet environment, ideally without other cats or young children. Gambit can be a bit temperamental and prefers to be the center of attention. This makes him an excellent choice for individuals or couples looking for a devoted feline companion to cherish and spoil. His adoption fee is $125.00, a small price to pay for a lifetime of companionship with this deserving senior cat.
