Abus is a slim, long-legged, long tailed, and fast young adult cat. He has not yet discovered he has the body for speed and agility and he is still experimenting with how to access heights. Sometimes he stumbles and falls and will renegotiate a better lift off the next time. Albus is always hungry. His food is measured and portioned to him throughout the day to provide a healthy caloric intake. Toys may be a new thing for Albus. He seems puzzled about what they are for. After an examination of the toy, he will discover its use. His favorites so far are the fisher wand, a nylon pencil shaped tube, and various scratch posts and pads. He does a funny dance when he gets excited playing with these toys. Albus can be affectionate and will sleep at night on the bed with his foster parents and he will monitor them for periods throughout the day. He’s also happy to find a nice sunspot or a comfortable cushion and relax by himself. He has a very loud meow when he wants attention or feels uncertain what to do next. The tone and volume of his call changes when he feels reassured. Albus will voice persistent meows to lead me to the stairs then put his head through the newel posts in the railing for an intense noggin scratch.
About Me:
When he first arrived at his new foster home, Albus was a bit uncertain about his surroundings and how to behave. Since that time, his adventurous and confident spirit has emerged and he is discovering every nook and cranny of the house. He uses the litter box like a pro. Carrier car trips are stressful for Albus, so we suggest a lifestyle where he does not have to travel by car very much. Ear tip: You may wonder why some of our cats, like Albus, have tipped left ears. These cats originally entered our care through a Trap‑Neuter‑Return (TNR) program, where ear‑tipping is a standard and humane method used to identify community cats who have already been spayed or neutered. After spending time with us, it became evident that some of these cats were better suited to indoor living and demonstrated the temperament needed to transition into our adoption program. Although they began as part of the TNR initiative, their comfort and behavior indicated that they would thrive as companion animals rather than returning outdoors.
Notes:
The adoption fee includes a health check, first vaccination in a series and any that become due while in care, first anti-parasite treatments needed in care, spay or neuter and microchip at our Veterinary partner. There is a 10% discount when you adopt 2 cats/kittens. The adopter will be responsible for any vaccine or boosters, anti-parasite treatments that are needed after adoption. Kittens usually need 3 vaccines, one month apart starting at age 7 weeks. Juveniles and Adult cats usually require 2 vaccines one month apart in the first year, then annual vaccines. Deworming is recommended at the time of each vaccine appointment. If you are intending to adopt, please be aware that your Veterinary clinic may be experiencing backlogs in scheduling appointments, so do not delay calling your clinic to book your new cat's needed booster appointment(s). Please note that cats are not tested for FIV/FeLV nor can FIP be predicted. We will share any medical information gathered during our health checks and observations revealed during their time in care. But it is important to know that some illnesses can have an incubation period of 10 days, which means that a cat can leave in good health but get sick a few days post adoption. In addition, the stress of a new environment can affect a cats’ immune system.
