Hi everyone, I’m Roastie!

I came to the sanctuary with my younger brothers and sisters- they have all now found their homes. We came from a home but our owner could no longer care for us, they didn’t agree with neutering and sadly bred our mommy cat multiple times. I was from her litter in January 2025, the rest of my litter found homes, and then she had another litter just a few months later! It is very lucky that we didn’t start breeding with each other as they could have ended up with lots and lots of kittens.

Our mommy cat was a Sphynx cross, she was hairless but had curly ears like me so my carers assume that she must have had some American Curl in her genes too. Our dad was a domestic shorthair (moggy), so this is my main breed, with a mixture of the other two in my DNA. Obviously I don’t look as though I have any Sphynx in me and look like a domestic shorthair with curled ears! I am very cute though, look at me!

We weren’t in very good condition when we arrived here. We were infested with fleas and had big bellies which showed we probably were full of nasty worms too. Thankfully, we had all of our vet work done and received all the care we deserved.

I am a very friendly boy who really, really loves humans! I love to be cuddled, picked up and sitting on laps. Anything that involves a human giving me love and attention I love! I can be quite vocal and like to have chats with the humans too. I can be playful when I’m in the mood, but most of all I just want fuss and cuddles. I have so much love to give to anyone who will accept it.

I do however have a ‘naughty’ side too. My carer says she hates using the word naughty, as I’m a good boy really (of course I am!), but sometimes I get a bit confused and don’t know how to control my emotions. If it all gets a bit too much, if I’m enjoying attention too much or you stop fussing me, or I suddenly decide I want to play, then I do sometimes nip the humans. I don’t mean it, and I go straight back to being my cuddly baby self afterwards, but the carers say it can hurt. So, my adopters will need to be happy to work with me on this.

I was adopted earlier in the year, but sadly I was getting quite frustrated in the home, and was showing a lot of frustration aggression behaviours. When I returned to the sanctuary, it was decided that I did need a cat friend. I ad previously shown that I definitely did not like the other adult cats here, so my carer thought that perhaps I would like a little baby friend, as I was used to living with my baby brothers and sisters. So, she introduced me to Mila.

Well, we hit it off straight away! Literally, as soon as the humans let us out together, we were doing crazy zoomies up and down the cattery corridor, play fighting and letting out all of our built up energy. The humans said it was lovely to see. Mila is like my little sister and I couldn’t see my life without her now. It sounds like she had a rubbish start to life, so I just want to protect her and continue our journey together into our next chapter. Please consider giving us a home together!
