Introducing Goodfella, United Paws Cat of the Week. You don’t get the name “Goodfella” unless you are, well, a good fella. This black beauty with eyes that shine either yellow or green, has earned his name and the hearts of his rescue team at United Paws.
When Goodfella came into the headquarters, he was unrecognizable. He was skin and bones, infested with fleas, had almost no fur, and was covered with angry sores and scabs. His rescuer called him a “hot mess.” After many weeks of treatment, nutritious food and loving care, this beautiful soul began to shine once again. Now Goodfella is healthy, frisky, with soft fur coming back in, thick and black.
Now that his health concerns are behind him, Goodfella is ready for life in an active home where he can be a part of the action. He loves to check out new places and the people in them. He yearns for human attention and loves to be pet from his head, down his back, to his tail. He loves to climb, play and chase. His current favorite toy is a kitty-sized body pillow that he can grab, tackle and roll with (see video!). He also loves to chase anything connected to a string. And don’t get him started with a laser toy…he will play and run and play and chase and play…entertaining all around.
This spirited and good-natured boy has been through a lot. He hasn’t had much practice sharing human attention so it is believed Goodfella will do best in an active household where he can get lots of attention and is the only cat. A slow and thoughtful introduction to a gentle dog in the family may be successful over time. This Goodfella is one of a kind and is looking for his safe, loving, and forever home. Ready to adopt?
