Luke Cage is at risk for medical reasons, having been diagnosed with an Upper Respiratory Infection, which is contagious to other cats. Mr Cage is also recovering from a mild traumatic injury to his left hind leg, causing swelling and pain around the tarsus. Behaviorally, we have no concerns for Luke Cage, who we believe would be suitable even for beginner cat homes.
