My story so far…

Cute as a Button- that’s me!

I was found as a stray kitten along with my sister. We were taken in and cared for by a kind lady who looked after us and had our essential vet work done too- she made sure we were neutered and vaccinated to keep us safe. Sadly, she wasn’t able to keep us permanently, however we were very grateful that she showed us so much love while we were with her. Just before we were due to come to the sanctuary, my sister went missing and sadly hasn’t returned, so I am looking for a home on my own.

I do have a quiet and timid nature, so it did take me a while to settle in here at the sanctuary. My carers do think this was mainly because I was missing my sister though, and hoped that she may go home so that we could be reunited. At first, I was very scared of the people here, had to have my own special hidey bed and would always be hiding under a blanket somewhere in my pen- sometimes they had to play hide and seek to find me. But after a while, I realised that they were there to love me and give me everything I needed, so I gradually started to enjoy a fuss. Now, there’s no stopping me! I will meow at the humans to tell them it’s my turn for attention, will roll onto my back for lots of tummy tickles and am a playful girly too! I do still have my little hidey bed though, not to hide in but just because it’s cosy and I love it. If you are happy to give me the time, patience and understanding that I need, then I promise that I will love you with all my heart and will be your little best friend!

Home I am looking for…

I am looking for a nice quiet home where I will be given space to settle. I don’t want to be rushed into settling, so anyone who wants to give me a home needs to understand that I may hide away to begin with and might not show my affectionate side straight away. All you have to do is let it all be on my terms, let me settle in my own time and I will love you soon enough. As I am now used to seeing more people here at the sanctuary, I may settle easier into my forever home. In my last home, I only ever really knew my foster human so struggled with meeting new people, but hopefully it won’t be as difficult for me now as I have met lots of kind humans. My carer said to make sure that you are aware though that I may take a while to settle in, so please don’t expect too much of me to soon. It’s not good to feel pressured, and it may make it more difficult for me!

As I am used to living with my sister, I could live with another cat. However, I wouldn’t enjoy living with a young, energetic cat so maybe a cat who is older than me who will be happy to share their space with me, but also will match my need for personal space. Due to my nervous nature, I would not like to live with a dog.

I could live with older children 12+, but would be too worried to live with any younger.

I could live happily as an indoor only cat as I am happy to just sleep around in comfy places in the warm, so as long as I have some toys and scratch posts/ cat tress etc to keep me entertained and occupied then I will be fine. I absolutely love cardboard scratchers- remember that! I could however also have access to outside in my next home, I’m not sure if I would want to go outside much as I am such a homely girl but perhaps if I had the option then I would enjoy sunbathing in the garden during the summer. This is also manageable on sunny window sills during the warmer months though, so definitely not a necessity for me to be able to go outside.

Medical history…

I am a happy, healthy girl with no health concerns.

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.
