My story so far…
Hi, my name is Freddie.
I am around 18 months old and am sadly looking for my third (that the humans knows of) home! I was recently taken on a few months ago by a lovely lady who really loved me and cared for me really well. I wasn’t vaccinated or neutered before she got me, so she had all of this done for me. I was only with her for a couple of months but I definitely received all the care and love that I deserved (and needed). Sadly, a family member of hers is very ill and she felt that she could no longer give me the time and care that I need, so she made the very difficult decision to find me a new home.
I settled in straight away here at the sanctuary. I was a little nervous for a couple of days but then was absolutely fine and wanting fuss and cuddles from everyone! My carer says I’m a lovely boy, and everybody who meets me falls in love with me. We recently had an open day here at the sanctuary and I was a firm favourite with all the visitors. I took great pleasure in showing myself off- rubbing up the glass windows and rolling onto my back to show them all my beautiful tummy. I really do just want to love everyone, and I hope very soon that someone will choose me to be a new addition to their family.
Home I am looking for…
I am quite easy with my requests for a home and family. As I am such a friendly boy, I could live with children. As long as they listen to the bigger humans and give me time to adapt and settle when I first come home, and give me space when I need it. I do see myself forming a lovely bond with children as we grow up together and being a little shadow to everyone.
As I am only a young boy, I am very playful so will need an active home with humans who are able to give me the attention and care that I need, and will play with me when I want but also be there purely for company when I want some chill time too.
I could live with another cat(s), but can be a little wary with new cats at first. Slow and steady introductions will need to be made, so any potential adopters will need to consider whether they have the time to do this. If introduced correctly, I do enjoy the company of other cats, and would love to have a feline sibling to love and play with. I could also live happily as an only cat, as long as I have lots of attention from my human family. I am a bit nervous of dogs, so would prefer to find a home without them, however in the future, once I have settled in and made myself at home, perhaps I would welcome a doggy friend too.
In my previous homes, I have had access to outdoors and been able to explore. I would enjoy this in my next home too, however as I’m such an easy-going lad, my carer thinks that I would be perfectly fine living as an indoor only cat too. If I am adopted as an indoor only cat, I will need sufficient space and lots of enrichment like toys, scratch posts, cat trees etc to keep me entertained.
Medical history…
I am a young and healthy boy who has been given a clean bill of health by the vets.
I was recently a bit poorly as I had an abscess come up just behind my ear. The humans aren’t sure what the cause of it was, but I did arrive at the sanctuary with a few scratches and scabs so it was most likely the result of an old bite or scratch injury from another cat. There must have been some bacteria hidden in there even after it had seemingly healed, and this was festering under the skin until it caused an abscess to develop. Unfortunately, the abscess came up very quickly and burst before I was able to get to the vets, however I then had it all cleaned and was given antibiotics to clear up the infection. My carer says I was such a brave boy throughout it all, and considering I had a literal hole in my head, didn’t seem phased by the experience at all! The worst part about it all was having that silly cone around my neck while it healed!
My wound has healed very well and my fur is growing back nicely. This is just something that happens when cats go outside and get into altercations with other cats, so I’m not at any higher risk of it happening again, and will have the same chance as any other cat of it happening again. So, please don’t let this put you off adopting me!
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.
