He was brought to us from the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theladewcatsanctuary.org\/\">Ladew&nbsp;Cat Sanctuary<\/a> and immediately warmed up to everyone in the KitNipBox office. You can often find Mister headbutting us for pets, weaving in and out of our legs and swivel chairs, meowing for food, or relaxing on top of our keyboards.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Cat is a diabetic kitty, but for him, that just means he can only eat wet food and treats that are made with 100% meat (like freeze-dried chicken). No biggie!<\/p>\n<p>It breaks our heart to report that, despite all of his ameowzing qualities, Mr. Cat still hasn&#8217;t found a forever home. While we love him to bits and pieces, we know that an office is no place for him to spend the rest of his life. He belongs in a home with humans that will love him as much as he is sure to love them back!<\/p>\n<p>If you, or someone you know, might be interested in adopting Mr. Cat, please email us at meow@kitnipbox.com!<\/p>\n<p>ox Lots of purrs xo<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At KitNipBox, we consider ourselves extremely lucky to have adorable foster kitties roaming around our office!
