Klaus is in town!
Fittingly, Klaus arrived at EHS from a municipal animal shelter during the Christmas season. Similar to his namesake, Santa, Klaus is described as having a big, bold personality and is ready to settle down in a place to call home.
About Klaus
- At shelter
- Having once lived as a stray on the streets, Klaus is a big-hearted cat who needs to feel safe before showing his softer side.
- He is a very good active listener, often tilting his head to the side out of interest to catch up on the gossip.
- Klaus is a very curious cat. He loves to perch on top of his cat tree and watch the world from above. Sometimes he also ventures off of his tree toward the front of his kennel to observe everyone.
- He loves receiving pets with the back-scratcher, especially on his chin, cheeks and the top of his head, even leaning forward for a good scratch or two! As his bond grows with you, he may even accept some hand pets.
- Klaus is a big fan of the wand toy, he loves to roll around on his back while playing with it.
- Klaus is a skittish cat who has had minimal experience with humans, so it will take time and effort to earn his trust.
- Some skittish cats may remain reserved, while others may express their trust and affection in a variety of ways
- Klaus has FIV, which is a virus that weakens the immune system of a cat but is not transmissible to humans or other species.
- A cat with FIV may be overlooked, but with routine vet care and a loving home, cats who have FIV can live a long, healthy life.
- Klaus is neutered, microchipped, dewormed, flea-treated, SNAP-tested for FIV/FeLV, and is up to date on core vaccinations.
Klaus’s Ideal Home
- Klaus prefers to be the only cat in the household.
- Klaus does not require medication but vet checkups twice a year are recommended.
- A skittish cat, like Klaus, will benefit from a calm, quiet environment, preferably without small children.
- Potential adopters should be prepared to commit the time, effort, and patience required to help Klaus settle into his new environment. EHS will provide post-adoption support to assist Klaus with a successful transition to his forever home.
Always nice and sometimes naughty, Klaus is ready to retire his past life and begin anew in his fur-ever home. If you’re ready to give Klaus a soft place to land, apply to adopt him today.
