It’s been about seven months since the ever-so-sweet and handsome Radagast joined our family. He has fit right in, and now I can’t imagine our family without him. I’m not the only one who feels that way either, thankfully. The rest of the KCC Gang are big Raddy fans too. He is friend to all!
Even Delilah, who would prefer to be an only cat, has taken to Raddy. And Kylo Ren, who was the only one to object when we first brought Raddy home, is now Raddy’s best friend. I frequently find the two of them snuggling together. I’m not surprised though. He is a very gentle and soft-hearted boy, so I don’t know how anyone wouldn’t love him!
And just like with Sophie, Raddy amazes me with how well he is able to get around, despite his disability. He doesn’t jump, but man, can he climb! He and Sophie both have such amazing upper-body strength. If they were human, they would look like this:
A few weeks back, I walked into the living room to find Raddy climbing on the Cat Wall! I am not sure how he got up there, but I was impressed to say the least. He really can do anything.
Unfortunately though, I don’t think there is any hope that his condition will improve. We took him to see our vet a few months ago, and he looked at Raddy’s x-rays that the rescue sent us when we adopted him. His opinion is that Raddy’s disability was caused by a trauma… likely abuse. He said that his legs won’t improve and that he isn’t in any pain, though arthritis will be a concern for him as he ages. He recommended starting Raddy on a joint supplement now as a preventative.
It breaks my heart to think that someone would purposefully hurt Raddy. He is the most gentle and sweet boy. I feel blessed to have him in our family. Though it sounds like he had a rough past, I intend to give him a wonderful present and future!
What a sweetheart Raddy has turned out to be! It really makes my heart hurt to think someone would mistreat him, and I’m so glad he found a home with you so he can be the best kitty he can be!
It’s horrible that somebody hurt him, but he duz have the best home now.
Such a sweet boy and we’re so glad he is right where he was meant to be all along!
Aww Raddy is such a sweetie. He’s blended right in with the family. That’s horrifying to know someone abused him and he’ll have to deal with the impact the rest if his life. I hope getting home on a supplement regimin helps. One thing I can tell is despite his past, he’s not letting it damper his outlook on his present and future. He is so fortunate to have a loving safe home with you and the crew!
dood….if cuzin boomer waz heer ….him wood tell ya stay az strong az ya R now pal…..boom lived 19 yeerz N never let nothin stop him either ~~~~~~ we iz buzzed happee ya haza total lee awesum home & familee now ~~~~~~ 🙂 ♥♥
I was wondering if acupunture could help Radagast? But, he’s purr-fect the way he is, and so handsome too! How wonderful that he’s settled in well.
makes us sad to think what he went through – but oh the adventures and love he is getting now!! Love seeing him on the cat wall.
I’m happy to read update of Radagast! Glad he is doing well with his furblings. And it’s really impressive he got up there by himself! It breaks my heart to think someone had hurt him, but I’m so grateful he’s found a safe, loving home xo
What a sweet face, and it sounds as if Raddy has endeared himself to all. He got the best home he could ever have hoped for. Wow, wish you could have seen him get on the cat wall.

I’m glad he’s fitting in so well. I don’t understand how anyone can hurt an animal 🙁 thankfully he hit the jackpot with your family and that will never happen again.
We glad that Radagast has adjusted well in his new home…and everybuddy loves him. What’s not to love?!?!
Purrs to Raddy and the rest if your crew !
Raddy is so adorable and these photos of him cuddled with the family are adorable. I hope no one ever hurt him. XO
He truly is a handsome guy and it sounds like he’s won over everyone in the family…..love all the photos of snuggle time and especially the one where he obviously overcame “all odds” and climbed up to level two on the cat tree! BRAVO! We can do anything we set our mind to. He is a very special cat and certainly has the perfect family now in spite of his horrible and difficult past. Bless ALL of you for filling out the family with such a precious little soul.
Hugs, Teddy and Mom too
Oh my mouses, just look at how well they’re all gettin’ along! Obviously a PURRfect addition to the family, for sure. PURRS.
Raddy is thriving with you! It’s heartbreaking (and infuriating) to think someone abused an animal. A “trainer” abused our Golden Retriever when he was a puppy, long before we adopted him, and it was always amazing to me that he remained so good-natured and gentle. All your furries are lucky to be with you.
Looking to the future. Love to you and your cat family.
