Meet Milo, a sweet young survivor looking for a happy ending to his story.
This handsome 2-year-old tuxedo boy has honestly endured more in his short life than any cat should experience in a lifetime. As a kitten, he was repeatedly harassed by the family dog, who chased him, bit him and pulled his tail while the owner laughed. Then one of her kids poured glitter glue into his ears. The damage to his delicate inner ears left him mostly deaf. While his ears look perfectly normal now, they just don’t work very well.
Thankfully, a compassionate neighbor stepped in and convinced Milo’s owners to let her take him. While she gave him the safety and kindness he desperately needed, her resident cats were not pleased by the newcomer.
They relentlessly bullied Milo whenever he ventured out of his room, teaching him that other cats were something to fear rather than trust. Wanting a better life for poor little Milo, his rescuer contacted us to help find him the loving forever home he so deserves.
Milo unfortunately believes the best defense is a good offense when it comes to other animals. Around other cats, he hisses, growls, and becomes understandably upset. But take the other animals out of the equation, and you’ll discover an entirely different cat.
With people, Milo is incredibly sweet, affectionate, and eager to be part of the action. He loves to get pets, cuddle, play, and spend time with his humans. Whether it’s chasing a laser light, batting around toy mice, springs, or balls, this playful fellow is always ready for fun. Although he is mostly deaf because of his earlier injuries, the glitter glue has been completely removed from his ears, and he doesn’t let his hearing loss slow him down. He does talk a little loud since he can’t hear himself.
Milo may eventually learn to accept another cat with an extremely slow, careful introduction, but his ideal home would be one where he can be the only pet. After everything he’s been through, he deserves a home where he can finally relax, feel secure, and soak up all the love for himself.
Milo is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on his vaccinations. If you’re looking for a loyal companion with a huge heart and you’re ready to give this resilient boy the happy ending he deserves, Milo may be the perfect match.
