Mellow had been living in the caretaker’s home at the Johnson County Fairgrounds until a terminal illness uprooted his family.

Unfortunately, Mellow’s (and his two housemates’) continued care had not been addressed before his dad’s health failed and they lost their home as the household was suddenly dismantled.

This amount of change makes a huge impression on a companion animal. The triple shock of losing his caregiver, his home, and moving into a foster situation was a burden.

Mellow and his brother Khaki, and “uncle” Thomas (RIP) have made many friends in fostercare. All three were easily accepted by their new colony.

Mellow is shy at first. He’s a talker and has quite a repertory of trills. He and his brother are gentle—they were raised by senior citizens. He is very soft-coated and enjoys being combed.

The plan was to place Mellow and Khaki as a pair. They don't spend all that much time with one another in their foster home, but neither has ever been an only cat.

Mellow likes—to shadow his foster caregiver; jingle balls; playing with flies and eating them; other cats

He dislikes—thunderstorms...he get restless with the thunder
