Meet Bonaparte – from Street Warrior to Couch King After years of braving the streets of downtown Ottawa, Bonaparte is finally ready to retire in style. This ruggedly handsome black senior cat, estimated to be around 8 years old (though he may be a bit older), came into rescue this past winter covered in scars that told the story of a hard life lived outdoors. Once thought to be feral, Bonaparte surprised everyone by revealing his soft side—and a deep appreciation for the finer things in life: soft beds, full meals, and a gentle touch. At first, he may be shy and choose to lay low while he gets his bearings, but don’t be fooled—this former street survivor warms up quickly, especially if snacks are involved. Food is absolutely the way to his heart, and once trust is built, Bonaparte becomes a sweet, affectionate companion who enjoys the quiet comfort of a calm home. While he’s not a kitten anymore and won’t be bouncing off the walls, he still has little bursts of playful energy and curiosity. He gets along with other low-key cats who respect his space, and may even curl up next to them for a cozy nap. Bonaparte hasn’t met dogs or young children in our care, but we think he’d do best in a quieter home with adults or older, respectful kids—and possibly a calm, cat-savvy dog.
About Me:
Despite his tough beginnings, Bonaparte is in good health for a cat his age. He had dental work done in April and is up to date on his vaccinations for the year. Bonaparte spent years surviving — now he’s ready to live. If you have a warm heart, a soft bed, and some treats to spare, this quiet gentleman may just be the perfect addition to your home.
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.
