Hi I am Lyric. Even though I have been indoors since I was an older kitten, I am still learning to be brave when it comes to meeting new people and in new environments. It does take me a while to adjust and I am really hoping to find a human who understands my need to take things slow. If you do decide to come and visit me, please don't be offended if I hide for a while or only watch you from a distance.
About Me:
Lyric needs a quiet home environment where he can get comfortable and gain confidence. He is a gentle, shy guy who needs a "cat whisperer", someone who will be patient and take his shyness in stride and work with him to help him gain confidence with love and time. He likes toy springs and likes to sit on a window ledge or cat tree . He loves to be brushed. He is not ready to be picked up and cuddled, but loves pets in his safe area - he has found a few hidey holes in his foster home where he watches life around him during the day and enjoys being pet there. He is being a typical cat ; more active in the evening . He uses his litter box well - bravely venturing from his 3rd floor refuge to 1st floor litterbox. With food as an incentive he will also come out to eat, which is a good time for his foster to pet and brush him, which he enjoys. On his part, he has lived peaceably with other cats. In a previous home there was some bullying against him though, some cats may not be accepting of him & his passivity, so we would suggest for his sake he be an only cat in your home. Medical Notes: Lyric has recently been started on Fluoxetine, in the transdermal form ( rubbed into the skin of his ears) We hope this anti-anxiety medication will help to relieve some of his anxiety about being out and about, and help him become braver in his interactions with people.
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.
