HOMED March 2010
Max
As you can see, he is quite simply adorable, truly has the most wonderfully gentle but impish character and is minus his tail! The cards were stacked against Max, as we believe he suffered a glancing blow from a car. But, luckily, he managed to survive and found shelter in a kind family’s garden – they promptly called us one evening for help.
Now, this little soldier has not stopped for one minute to feel sorry for himself. When the Vet told him that he had nerve damage to his tail, so it had to be amputated and he also needed some stitches in his leg, Max didn’t complain, he just accepted things. He has been a gold-star patient and has the happiest, sweetest nature. The only thing he was not too keen on was his plastic medical collar, which he helped the Vet with by removing it himself before his next appointment! His tail and leg wound has healed very, very well, his special sock has been removed, his fur is growing back and Max has now been discharged. He loves to play and runs around just like any other young cat, having a particular liking for toy mice! He loves lots of fuss and doesn’t mind his tummy tickled, he has a fun-loving, cheeky attitude to everything. Max is around 1 year old and has been neutered. He is a delightful and sweet-natured cat and so handsome!
As with all of our fostered animals, adoption is upon a satisfactory homecheck and we especially would like a safe new home for Max, away from busy roads.
Beauty
Beauty is a pretty and petite Miss, who was rescued by a concerned member of the public when they realised she was in distress. The vet believes she had recently given birth to kittens but, sadly, despite searching no trace of them could be found.
Beauty is only around 1 year old and came into foster care underweight and with a nasty abscess under her eye- this has almost completely healed. Thanks to her devoted fosterer she has also put on some weight and will continue to do so. Beauty has been speyed.
Here is what her fosterer has to say about her:
Beauty is very trusting and loving around people. She loves to headbutt your hand for fuss, sit on you or lay beside you, she really does love having her head rubbed! Not so keen on being picked up, she will tolerate it for a short while. Beauty always has alot to say and will meow for fuss and food etc. She has a very cute and endearing meow!
Having successfully learnt to play, Beauty loves nothing more than chasing a tickle- stick toy! She’s also learnt how to use her scratching post, and enjoys batting the ball on the top of it too. She’s very gentle with people, and has never scratched me!
Beauty has met my own cat but doesn’t get on with her, although saying that, she got on well with my neighbour’s cat when he popped around to visit. I therefore think she’d be best either as the only pet in a household, or in a household with another confident cat perhaps.
Although I haven’t introduced her to any children, I think she’d be fine with responsible ones as she REALLY does love human company and is so gentle.
Chico
Chico is a charming young cat of around 2 years old, who is desperate to secure a promotion!
No, not a job promotion but a step-up from being someone’s stray cat, being picked on by the local big bully cats, to become a loved and treasured family cat, safe and cosy!
What is his C.V like,  you may ask ? He has been a long-term stray for a while, cared for by a kind lady until it became obvious that he needed a more permanent future. Chico’s star qualities are his friendliness and ability to adapt to new situations in next to no time. He has made friends very quickly with the resident adult male cats in the house and likes to take life easy, chilling out, taking a cat nap, followed by a fuss, followed by another cat nap! He is clean, playful and deserves a permanent home of his own for once in his life.
Chico has been neutered.
