Shrimp

This little black cat named Shrimp is being fostered through Step Up to Save Animals Network (SUSAN). They are a small rescue and don’t have quite the reach to market him, so we are trying to help him find a home through this post.

Shrimp is four years old and has been neutered. He weighs approximately 6.5 lbs, all black (he has a secret white spot on his belly, but he only shows it to those who he deems worthy). He is currently living with his foster family in the Hampden neighborhood of Baltimore.

Shrimp is diagnosed with irritable bowel disease, which means he sometimes has soft stools, but his symptoms are easily controlled with a prescription Z/D diet and half a pill hidden in his wet food every other day. His medication is inexpensive and he can be on it for the rest of his life.

Shrimp is also a former feral and had never been handled by humans prior to being rescued, so he can be a bit shy at first; however, once he realizes you are the Bringer of Yummy Things he is on you like velcro and even sings and dances for meals! Shrimp loves head scratches and recently discovered he likes butt scratches too!

If you are interested in learning more about Shrimp, meeting with him and possibly taking him into your family, please contact us through our contact portal to make arrangements.
