Meet KITTY WARDEN

This sassy, friendly little porker came to CCR because he'd suffered some sort of major injury out in the wilds of a Nashville neighborhood. He was treated at the local trap-neuter-release clinic for a large open wound on his neck and chest. Because the TNR clinic isn't designed as a long-term care center, his ear was tipped (marking him as a neutered stray) and he was going to be put back outside despite the open wound. CCR stepped forward and secured a foster home where he could safely recover. And recover he did. In fact, he thrived. Based on an inside joke in the foster's home, he's been dubbed 'The Warden' (Warden for short). He's gained four pounds and his wound has completely healed with no visible scarring.    Even though Warden was badly injured and, more than likely, in pain, his foster human quickly discovered that Warden is exceptionally friendly (particularly for a cat rescued from the streets). He demands to be picked up and held; he loves getting attention and he's incredibly sweet.  He also takes medication and other 'hassling' (i.e., nail trimming, minor grooming) without much complaining or struggling. He absolutely appreciates being a pampered indoor cat.   While he likes having his foster human's attention, he's indifferent about having feline or canine attention. He doesn't pick fights with the other cats or the dog in the house; he just doesn't care that they're there (though, sometimes, he'll hiss at or swat at the resident dog, who is a large hound, just to make sure the dog knows who the top dog is).  He currently does not insist on being a lap cat, but that might be due to circumstances in the foster's home (namely: other cats claim the foster's lap as their own), but he will insist on being picked up and cuddled. Warden would do just fine either as a solo cat or in a home with other cats or with a dog/multiple dogs. However, if you are searching for a companion for another cat (or for a dog), he's likely not the best choice, even though he's adorable; he's just more human-oriented than he is feline- or canine-oriented (who can blame him? the other felines and the dog don't feed him!).   Consider making Warden part of your home - he will show you his appreciation every day! (Warden is difficult to photograph because once he realizes he has your attention, he wants to be petted, so he approaches the camera - hence lots of sleeping/just woken up photos.)  To be considdered for Warden's forver family and to request an application please contact Vivienne at [email protected].  APPROVED APPLICATION AND ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED.  (Warden is currently in Tennessee but can be transported north upon adoption.)
