Keanu is at risk for medical reasons, having been diagnosed with Upper Respiratory Infection, which is contagious to other cats. Keanu is a geriatric cat with underlying factors, including a heart murmur and dental disease, and has also been diagnosed with conjunctivitis. Behaviorally, we have no concerns for Keanu, whom we believe would be suitable even for a beginner cat home.
Let’s get to know each other a bit more…
