Meet Seymour, a three-legged cat that was rescued from the SE Philly streets while trying to get inside someone’s house. We don’t know how he lost his rear paw but thankfully, the vets confirmed his leg fully recovered and is in great shape. Judging by his initial fear of hands, he was most likely abused but that hasn’t stopped his desire for human companionship. Seymour is a sweet and very chatty cat who wants to be with his human for as long as possible! He is learning to trust people again, mainly men, and is still fearful of rapid hand movement. He enjoys napping next to his person or a sunny window and playing with his toys.

Seymour doesn’t love competition, so it would be best if he goes to a household where he is the only cat, or the other cats are more submissive and ok with adopting a new leader. He would be a great companion for a woman with older kids or no kids because, as we mentioned, he is still recovering from his past trauma and would feel threatened by the natural energetic playfulness of young kids. Seymour has come a long way and all he needs to get past his anxiety is finding a loving human, ideally a woman, willing to open her heart and give him the forever home he eagerly awaits.
