About ZIco

Zico is a sweet 4-year-old cat from Brazil who moved to the United States with our family in 2023, along with our other two cats. He celebrated his fourth birthday on September 3. Zico is affectionate and loves to cuddle-especially when he decides it's time for attention. He has a gentle personality and is not aggressive or prone to fighting. However, he becomes very stressed when sharing his space with the other cats, even though his stress is not always obvious. He marks his territory by urinating on couches, beds, and areas where the other cats have been, which means we have to keep all of our doors closed. For the past two years, we have tried everything we could to help him adjust because we truly wanted to find a way to keep our family together. Unfortunately, any improvement has only lasted a few days before the marking begins again-often after another cat has been resting in a particular spot. After discussing the situation with our veterinarians, we were advised that Zico needs to be the only pet in the household. This is an incredibly difficult decision because we love him dearly, but we believe he deserves a calm, stress-free home where he can feel secure, receive plenty of attention, and thrive as the only cat.%0C
