Name: Tom
Age: 1 year, 10 months
Sex: Male
Breed: Domestic Short Hair
Ref number: 10
Personality:
Tom hasn’t had the best start in life, coming from a very stressful home environment, then finding it equally stressful being in the cattery, he was clearly a very unhappy boy who wasn’t enjoying life. Luckily one of our amazing volunteers offered to foster him in her spare room and he’s like a completely different cat, he’s absolutely thrived and enjoys spending time with his foster parent’s, especially his mum!
Behaviour:
Tom’s foster mum has done everything on his terms to earn his trust and build his confidence and it has been so rewarding to see him transform from a cat that would grumble and show his dislike, into a cat that actively greets her when she enters the room, initiates contact and will get on her lap for a cuddle. He’s so relaxed he’s now enjoying playing with a variety of toys, by himself and whilst interacting with people. He really has come such a long way.
3 months post adoption behaviour support from our onsite behaviourist will be provided.
Housing:
It is essential that Tom has his own unused room to settle in; this is likely to be for several weeks before he feels brave enough to explore the rest of the property. He often sits on the window ledge looking at the outside world so would eventually loves his own garden to enjoy. He cannot be homed in Southampton (SO14 area).
Children/pets:
Tom needs to be an only pet in an adult only home. A calm and quiet household with only one or two people living there would be perfect for him.
Vet history:
Tom is neutered, microchipped, flea, wormed and fully vaccinated. In Tom’s previous home he did suffer with cystitis but has not suffered with this since being in our care. We currently have him on a supplement called Cystease which is a capsule sprinkled on his food that helps stress related bladder issues. It would be beneficial for him to initially stay on these in his new home but once fully settled he could potentially come off of these in line with your vets advice.
4 weeks free pet insurance included with adoption.
