My story so far…

Hello, I am Arthur.

I came to the sanctuary after being found as a stray and then advertised online as ‘free to a good home’. My carers here at the sanctuary tell me this is very dangerous as I could have very easily gotten into the wrong hands and into the care of people who would want to hurt me! I am so glad that a kind person came to collect me and thankfully the sanctuary had space to take me in.

When I was brought here, I had a poorly eye so had to go to the vets for a healthcheck quite quickly. Fortunately, my eye responded really well to treatment and has now healed, if it had been left any longer though my carers tell me it could have gotten a lot worse!

I am a very friendly boy who really, really loves cuddles (especially whilst sitting on a human’s lap!). I am quite vocal and will shout at you for attention, or food, or anything else I might feel I am in desperate need of right that moment! Like for you to sit down so I can sleep on your lap! I can be playful but am quite chilled too, I am happy to entertain myself while being nosey and watching what’s going on or curling up for a snooze. I do also very much love my food, so my adopters might need to make sure I can’t easily get to any food in my new home, and it will also be important to ensure I don’t eat too much to prevent me from becoming overweight. Puzzle/ slow feeders are helpful for this as they make feeding time take longer whilst keeping me entertained, my brain working and providing enrichment for me. I will probably tell you I am always hungry but my carers tell me I am not! They say I do not need extra food, how rude!

Home I am looking for…

I am looking for a quiet home where I can be the lazy cat I want to be most of the time, but also where I can have my crazy playful moments when I wish. Of course, I need humans who are looking for a cat who wants lots of love and attention too! But equally who are happy to give me some space when I decide that I want some ‘me’ time.

I am really not happy around other animals, so most definitely want to be the only pet in my new home! This is important, I want all the humans, toys and food all to myself!

Although I try to act big and tough, the other cats here at the sanctuary do worry me (but don’t tell them I said that, it might ruin my reputation!) I can become quite stressed around them so really don’t want to live with any in my home. Also, one of my carers tried to introduce me to something she called a ‘dog’! What on earth! No thank you, very scary and I absolutely do not want to live with one of those either!

I would really like to be able to go outside for little adventures in my new home, so would enjoy access to outside. I would however need to be kept strictly indoors for at least 8 weeks while I settle in and get used to my new humans.

So, if you have a home that is currently pet free and maybe you have an Arthur space waiting to be filled and lots of comfy places to sleep, please do consider me. You won’t regret it, I promise.

Medical history…

As mentioned above, I did have a poorly (left) eye when I arrived here at the sanctuary. The vets think it was most likely an injury, possibly from fighting with another cat while I was outside. I was treated for this with pain relief/ anti-inflammatory medication and eye drops, which really helped and made me feel so much better within just a few days. Thankfully, it doesn’t seem like I have any lasting damage to my eye, I can see perfectly well and it has healed nicely. I am no longer receiving treatment for my eye and fingers crossed I won’t need any more in the future.

My carers have told me to mention that any eye related problems may not be covered by pet insurances in the future due to this past injury. This is something any potential adopters would need to discuss with insurance companies to check, some companies will cover for previous illnesses however most don’t.

I am a very healthy boy though and have no other health concerns meaning I would be covered for everything else, so please don’t let this put you off! As I said, hopefully I will have no more eye issues for the rest of my life.

If you think you could offer me the home I need, please fill out an Adoption Enquiry Form. Please make sure you have read about all of my needs and our adoption policies before applying.

Forms lacking in detail or with questions unanswered may not be considered, we need to ensure we are matching our cats to the right home for them.
