Mr. Nubbins Needs A Home!

Mr. Nubbins (“Nubs” for short) was brought into SDMVC, due to a tail injury.  After examination, Dr. Flaming believed Nubs had suffered a traumatic injury to his tail, and his tail needed to be amputated.  Unfortunately, his owners were unable to cover his medical expenses, so Dr. Flaming agreed to take Nubs in at SDMVC, provide his medical treatment, and try to find him a new home. 

Over the past 6 months Nubs has been recovering from his tail amputation and also working through some litter box issues as a result of his injury.  With months of TLC, his tail has completely healed and he has been doing great using his litter box.  On occasion, we find a small piece of stool outside his litter box, which is most likely out of his control due to his injury.   

Nubs is very affectionate with women, always wanting to sit in your lap and be petted, but takes a while before he warms up to men.  He needs plenty of time to get acquainted to his new family. 

He is a very independent cat and would thrive in a home where he is the only cat.  He may be able to co-exist with another cat with gradual integration.  He prefers to keep his distance from dogs, but will defend himself if they are too close for comfort.  He’s not afraid to give them a little paw whack! (Don't worry- Nubs is front declawed)

Nubs is also a food-eating machine!!  He knows exactly when breakfast and supper time are here at the clinic and will meow when it’s feeding time until he gets his food.  He also loves cat treats.  His new owner will definitely have to make sure they keep food out of Nubs reach, as he will help himself!

Nubs is almost 3 years old, has been neutered and front declawed, and is current on his vaccines. 

We understand that Nubs has some special needs, but hope that there is a loving home out there that is willing to make him a part of their family!  Call the vet center at 515-285-5523 to set up a time to meet this handsome fellow today!
