Lovebug senior tuxedo kitty needs a home.
My people.
Can we help keep this incredibly sweet old man out of the shelter?
Kuzco is a lovebug 14-year-old-spry tuxedo boy; he has been with his family since he was five months old, they are distressed that circumstances dictate finding him a new home.
His mom says:
He is a prince and laps up attention and all the cuddles he can get. He loves chin scratches and attention, and he’s very chattery— he will come up and start talking to you; ready for a full conversation and some pets.
He will nap with you for hours if you give him the time. One of his favorite pastimes is to curl up and sleep on his human friend’s items like bags and shirts.
Kuzco is used to a quiet home, with two adults, where he is the only cat… a four-year-old nephew visits the family and Kuzco is very sweet and interacts and lets the boy pet him.
He does not have any special food or medications.
The new family could speak with Kuzco’s vet if they wanted to.
He weighs about 9lbs.
He is used to having his litter scooped at least once daily and changed out each week.
Now for the part where you understand why I need your help to find the right home:
His mom says:
A few days a week, Kuzco will throw up— spittle, or food, or maybe a hairball… We have had tests run, blood panels, gotten a second opinion; no vet has found anything wrong, they have chalked it up to him being an old man and having a sensitive stomach… He’s been this way for over a year, no change, no escalation.
Kuzco lives near Cherry Hill, NJ.
His family would love to invite the new family to come to their home to meet him; and they would be happy if they had the opportunity to bring Kuzco to his new home, (if the new family was open to it), they would like to reassure Kuzco at his new home— they love him very much.

Such a sweet boy! We live in Canada or I would scoop him up. We have two cats – one 14 years old and one 4 years old. They are lovely. My sister adopted a 15 year old cat whose owner had passed, this lonely cat lived to a ripe age of 19 bringing joy to my sister and her family. Thank you for sharing Kuzco’s information. I hope that someone near to him will offer him a home.

Thank you for your zeal and kindness in helping to kind him a new home. I’ve adopted senior dogs in the past and they are incredible pets and new family members.
This is not a judgement as s**t happens. To all pet owners, if possible, have a back up foster in mind in case something unforeseen happens to you. I know elders who set up small trust funds and or/family and friends to care for a pet should they become unable. Many circumstances are beyond our control but a little pre-planning can give you and your pet peace of mind.
Wishing Kuzco and his family only goodness.

Why does this sweetie need to be rehomed? Is it because of his nervous stomach? As a mom of 3 cats, I hope he finds a loving home.

Digestive enzymes may help with the spitting up, especially if he’s not on raw food.
Before we changed to raw food, we added Pet’s Friend’s digestive enzymes to our cats’ wet food and the puking hairballs and other yuck stopped.

I hope he finds a great home!

Sending Kuzco blessings from Kansas City soon to be blessing from Jamaica.
We have a distant relative if his in Jamaica.
Those Tuxedo boys rock. Felix is a Romeo. I wrote about my plan at medium @dswezy.com to take him to a new site when he dashed it with his baby mamas and a growing family.
I know Kuzco will find a new landing pad.
The pet enzymes seem like an excellent idea. U am sure Jamaican ferral animals manufacture their own Reggae versions.
Good luck!

Saw your post about the kitty. They should be forthcoming with the circumstances that require rehoming. Transparency is key as he sounds like an amazing cat but now they want him in a new home? Just my perspective as a dog foster knowing that so many pets need re-homing and it helps to know all the information up front. Best of luck to this sweet boy 🖤🤍

I n need to know why after 14 years they suddenly have to give him up.

If I got rid of every cat I’ve adopted after they regularly vomited, which most cats do, I’d have no cats to love. I don’t get it. Is that the reason?? If so, I have a big problem with that.

Me and my wife have a reverse problem. Bella, our beautiful pug passed away at a good age of 14, in my wifes arms. And for 12 months my wife has been been in morning, she checks for puggy videos daily. Sometimes she cries, She does not want a new soulmate but I know that she is a nurturer and she needs to grow love. It’s time for me to ignore her reluctance and bring a new family member in. Watch this space.

Poor baby, I hope he finds a new home soon. As a mom to 5 cats and 2 active kids, he would be exceedingly unhappy in my home. 🙁 He is a handsome boy.

Wish I could. I already had 5 and one morning, a few weeks ago, a black kitten was mewling at my back door. I now have 6.

My 12 year old (best friend) kitty had started throwing up a few times a week. Googling suggested if the vomiting was hours after eating and included undigested food it could be food allergies. I removed food including fish from his diet and the problem is GONE. Just mentioning in case this helps.
Thank you for working to find a home for this doll.

editing above to clarify: should read “removed any food that included fish”! not to be interpreted as “removed food, including fish”!

Have always loved Tuxedos. I share Tuxedo pictures from Pinterest and Instagram all the time. As much as I want to have this boy, our two border terrors (terriers) would make this an unsafe choice. Vut my heart is breaking…
