Read is a 5-year-old male with a gentle soul and a quiet charm. This sweet boy may be a little shy at first, but once he feels safe, his friendly and affectionate side begins to shine. He enjoys a calm environment where he can relax and build trust at his own pace, and he’ll reward your patience with loyal companionship.
Read has a condition called pillow foot (feline plasma cell pododermatitis), an immune-related condition that affects the paw pads. It can cause them to become soft, puffy, or slightly swollen, and sometimes sensitive. The exact cause isn’t fully understood, but it’s linked to the immune system.
The good news is that Read has been treated and cleared by the vet—he’s currently comfortable and doing well. Many cats with this condition live normal, happy lives, though some may have occasional flare-ups that can be managed with veterinary care if needed.
Read is ready to find his forever home and would do best in a quiet, understanding household where he can settle in and feel secure. If you’re looking for a kind-hearted companion with a soft personality, Read could be the perfect match.
