Blackie
Blackie (mother) and Squeak
(son) were signed over as sadly the owner died in the flat
and it was a while before the body was found. No family member/
friends could take them.
They spent all their lives together and were very timid and
nervous cats but have improved.
We are looking for owners experienced with rescued cats as
initially she is likely to be
very timid in the new home, you will need plenty of patience
and understanding.
Unfortunately Blackie has developed an issue with one of her
eyes, her eye became cloudy and swollen. She has been on steroid
anti-inflammatory drops since mid-March and this has reduced
the swelling so we are hoping this is a simple infection and
can be treated. Blackie is being closely monitored so fingers
crossed all will be cleared soon! We would not adopt Blackie
out without knowing the cause but please do not let his put
you off, cats pick up all sorts of illnesses at all ages so
this has nothing to do with her being an older lady.
Blackie is a very special cat that really does deserve to
be noticed.
So please read on and don’t flick to
the other cats, please give her a chance!
Both had been kept in a flat with no access to the outdoors
their entire lives so she can
be rehomed as a house cat but we’d love for her in time to
enjoy the garden.
This will take time as she could never be let out for several
months.
Whilst an older lady this is not evident in her at all.
She is very mild mannered, has a wonderful temperament and
despite my attempts to tease
her she has never bitten or scratched anyone. She has a beautiful
shiny black coat in
wonderful condition that is lovely to touch. She is a bit
of a coward though, whilst
playing with her she waits for the stuffed mouse to turn its
back before she attacks
it and will wait for the very last minute before pouncing
on a bit of string.
She has a good appetite and will gladly share her views with
you if she thinks its feeding time.
She has been on Feliway plug in to help with her fur pulling
which comes and goes and this has
also been seen by a vet.
Whilst it has taken several months Blackie has started to
enjoy attention from us and will now
come to us for affection. She is much better at coping with
visitors and no longer hides when
we have company. She still has a good appetite and will eat
pretty much anything we give her.
Blackie needs a child and pet free quiet home with an experienced
cat owner.
We
hope she will find her forever home soon, she deserves it!
