Cooper may look like a cool player with his mustache and tuxedo but his personality is more awkward lover-boy. He is a very sweet, affectionate, playful (deaf) boy. He doesn't like other animals so he needs to be an only pet, but he loves people. He's a cool little guy and if he liked our other fur babies we would keep him forever.
Cooper showed up skinny, flea infested and crying for help. We assume someone dumped him because it’s hard to imagine that he survived outdoors being deaf. Also, he has adapted wonderfully to living indoors (which is a must) and he uses his litter boxes like a champ. He may have been born deaf or there could have been an infection or injury that caused it. Cooper also has a small cloudy spot on his right eye that doesn’t seem to bother him or affect his vision.
Cooper tested negative for Feline Leukemia and AIDS and has been neutered and vaccinated.
Cooper greets us with excitement and joy. He loves to be petted, combed and brushed, to be near you or on you but most of all to be played with. Little fuzzy balls are his favorite toys - you throw it and watch him run, jump, catch, and wrestle it.
Cooper needs someone who is kind and patient and who understands that communicating with a deaf cat will take special effort, such as using gestures, touch, and vibrations to get his attention. He is up-to-date with his vet needs but we want him to go to someone who will not hesitate to take him to a vet or an emergency hospital, and someone who can provide anything he needs to be healthy and happy.
If you’re interested in meeting Cooper we live an hour south of Pittsburgh, 40 minutes from South Park, in Scenery Hill, 15360, Washington County. Thank you for taking the time to learn about Cooper.
