Keanu came into care from a farm that OSCatR has been helping with TNR'ing their outdoor cat community. Once in care it was obvious this fellow was very friendly and well suited to be an indoor companion pet rather than returning to the outdoors.
Keanu’s adjustment to indoor life has been one of a kind. A normally shy cat outdoors, Keanu was eager to get pets and scratches immediately upon arrival in his foster home. Shy was one thing he was not.
He ate eagerly, both the offered wet and dry food, walked around his isolation room and continuously purred, sat in his foster's lap, begged for scratches, and showed his continuous love. Just as eager as he was to show his affection, he was just as eager to be let out of isolation and explore the rest of the home.
Eventually, once he was let out of his isolation room, he inspected the rest of the home like a boss. He then curled up onto the couch and fell right back to sleep.
Keanu is not skittish, nor shy, and absolutely not aggressive. He loves curling up, showing affection, receiving affection, and lounging around. Keanu loves scratches. He absolutely loves top of the head scratches and belly rubs.
He indulges in wet and dry food. He enjoys sleeping in a comfortable spot (may it be the sofa, the bed, or your lap). More than sleeping, he loves a good cuddle!
He is litter box trained and uses it without fail. He has no special diet or accommodation needs. He’s currently eating Fancy Feast and Purina dry food very well.
About Me:
Health Notes: At his intake/neuter appointment Keanu was noted to have earmites, and received Nexgard Combo treatment for this. He will receive a second dose of treatment at his 30 day vaccine booster appointment, if adopted before the due date, then his adopter will be responsible for the vaccine and treatment at their own Veterinarian.
Ear tip: You may wonder why some of our cats, like Keanu, have one ear tip clipped. 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, like Keanu, 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.
