Hi!  My name is Roo (DOB: 4/1/2016) but my foster mom calls me Louie because I like it so much more!  You know that song, "Louie Louie" by the Kingsmen, me and foster mom love listening to that song together!  She even sings it to me too but don't tell her that she doesn't have the best singing voice!  But that doesn't matter to me, I just love spending time with my human.  It is absolutely my favorite thing in the entire world, second is definitely making biscuits, and third is watching the cool world outside.  I'm just once of those guys that always has a positive outlook on everything no matter the situation.  I'm a pretty chill dude that would much rather lounge around then spending a ton of time chasing toys or feature wands.  Every once in a while the mood with of course strick but ultimately giving loving head boops is way better.  I can also be chatty sometimes but mainly only when I have something really important to say, like, "hey foster mom, this bowl needs some food!"  I get along just fine with other mellow dogs and cats as long as you give me enough time to adjust, new places and things can be overwhelming so I just need time to settle in.  I mean ultimately foster mom says I am absolutely amazing and one of the sweetest kitties she has ever met.  That is some high praise if I do say so myself!

And while I am this absolutely amazing boy, I sure have been through a lot in my short life.  When I was born, my right ulna didn't develop which has left me with a slightly crooked arm.  It doesn't hurt at all but it does make it harder for me to get around quickly.  And for that reason, I was actually hit by a car when I was just a baby.  Luckily I am very tough though and survived with a slightly misaligned jaw and some other cracks and bruises that have since healed up.  Because of my jaw I do need help with grooming sometimes to keep my coat nice and pretty.  I sure am glad Wags and Whiskers took me in so I could find my furrever home someday. 

I was doing very well for quite a while but started eventually having accidents outside of the litterbox.  We determined this was due to chronic pancreatitis.  So Wags went to work finding the best treatment possible for me.  Right now I take a daily prednisone to help keep the inflammation down, am on a prescription GI food to get me plenty of calories and to help my poops, as well as pumpkin puree daily for the added fiber.  This has all helped tremendously and I make it to the litterbox most of the time now (I'd say about 90% of the time).  That being said, I'm not perfect and my forever person will have to be accepting of my accidents and keep me on this strict regimen.  Having multiple litterboxes around the house definitely helps me as well.  I also prefer litterboxes with soft towels in them when I need to urinate as well because it is easier on my paws.  I am a creature that prefers comfort, can you honestly blame me.  I definitely have very specific needs but I know the right person is out their for me.  If you are ready to open your heart and home to a special needs kitty, I'd love to meet you.
