Meet Blu | Rehome With Love

I am looking to re-home Blu, my 6 year old orange cat. He and my other cat have major scuffles. Blu also has a bite history, so he would need a very special person to take care of him and be okay with giving him space, and loving him from afar. I can give more info about the bite history. Over the past 4 years that I've had Blu I have tried to mitigate this behavior using Feliway plugins and medications, but I think he simply needs to be in a different environment, with more space and possibly no other pets.

Blu is about 6 years old, male, neutered, and updated on all shots and vaccines. He's not taking any medications currently and is physically healthy. He uses the litter box well and is not picky about food. His new home should preferably:

-not have any other pets (cats or dogs)
-not have babies or young children
-be a house or large apt (I currently live in a teeny tiny studio apt and suspect that he needs more space).

Blu is sensitive with a sweet spirit. If you think Blu could be a good fit for you, reach out!
