CULLMAN, Ala. – Gideon is a precious polydactyl cat with a gentle spirit, a sublime personality and a few extra toes that make him especially memorable. He’s The Cullman Tribune Pet of the Week!
Approximately 6 years old, Gideon is known as a Hemingway cat. This handsome fellow has two extra toes on each of his front paws and one extra toe on each of his back paws.
Gideon is still becoming accustomed to his surroundings and may appear shy when first introduced. Give him a little time, however, and his personality begins to unfold.
At first, Gideon carries himself like a proper gentleman, quietly observing everything around him. Once he realizes he is safe and comfortable, that dignified exterior gives way to a relaxed kitty who is perfectly content to roll around and act casual.
His calm nature and affectionate personality could make him an exceptional therapy or companion cat. Gideon may be especially well suited for someone seeking a steady, comforting presence and a loyal feline friend with whom to share the quieter moments of life.
He has already been neutered, so his adoption fee is only $35, an amount that is certainly not indicative of his worth. The adoption fee also covers age-appropriate vaccinations and a microchip.
Those who meet Gideon may quickly understand why this sweet gentleman has already begun pulling at the heartstrings of those caring for him.
To meet Gideon, visit the Cullman County Animal Shelter at 935 Convent Road NE. It’s open Monday through Friday, from 9 a.m.-3:30 p.m. You can also call 256-734-5448 or email cullmananimalshelter@co.cullman.al.us.
If Gideon has already found his forever home, be sure to meet his friends. The shelter has many other wonderful cats and dogs still waiting for families of their own.
