Medical note- Peyton came into care with Best Friends Felines in February 2023. At the time he entered care he had severe gingivostomatitis which means his immune system was having a reaction to his teeth. This results in significant ulceration of the mouth and back of the throat.

Because of this condition he had all his teeth extracted. There still is a little bit of inflammation in his mouth but it doesn’t seem to bother him. In October of 2024 he was diagnosed with IBD (Irritable Bowel Disease) which is managed with daily medication. Peyton was also born deaf which comes with some difficulties.
 

About:

Peyton came into our care along with several other Ragdolls from an urgent care situation up north.
 
He was quite underweight and sickly looking as his mouth was so sore he wasn’t able to eat properly. His paws were brown from constantly pawing at his mouth and it looked like he hadn’t groomed himself in years. He had a condition called gingivostomatitis which was resolved by removing all of his infected teeth. He is now sitting at a good weight with a luscious, healthy coat which he grooms from time to time.
 
Despite his age he likes to play with cat wands and laser toys, thinks boxes are fun and has the occasional zoomies. He also loves to follow you from room to room, especially when it’s getting close to dinner time. He is a food motivated cat so will want you to share your dinner with him, especially if it’s chicken nuggets, his fave!
 
He is a very outgoing boy who will greet all visitors at the door and is open to a pat on his terms. Given that he was born deaf, he reacts a little bit differently than other cats so his owners will need time to get to know his behaviours and what he does or doesn’t like. He does take a couple days to get used to new environments and may seem spooked by objects and shadows as he navigates his surroundings.
 
He does have a spunky Ragdoll attitude and needs someone willing to look past his differences and be patient with him as his history with humans hasn’t been a kind one.
 
His purrs are heard throughout the whole house which go even louder when you’ve got food in your hand, it’s dinner time or he’s enjoying a really good pat. You will also hear grumbles from him while he’s eating if he is really enjoying the food.
 
Of a morning, if you aren’t up before him he will stand there staring at you, purring away until you awake from your slumber.
 
He does require regular grooming as he prefers not to do it himself and this does come with a bit of a challenge as he had never been groomed in the past. He does however tolerate his nails being trimmed which is also done regularly so that he doesn’t hurt anyone when he is grumpy.
 
Everyday is a fun day with Peyton, he does some of the most random, cutest things that you don’t expect. Everyone that meets him falls in love with his quirky personality even though he’s been known not to charm anyone.
