My story so far…
Hello, my name is George!
I came into the sanctuary back in June after a kind lady was concerned for my safety as I was an entire stray in a vunerable position on a main road and in an area with a lot of foxes trying to fight me. I really loved the people who helped me because whilst they tried to see if I had an owner, they looked out for me. I enjoyed going into their home, chiling on their laps and having lots of cuddles and loves because that is what I want the most! (and food of course!)
I was a bit frustrated when I first arrived at the sanctuary because I was more confined and I missed being around people more. I took my frustration out on one of my carers but this isnt really my true personality. I have my own room at the sanctuary which has helped a lot because I have more space and a big window to look out of. If you hadn’t already guessed I love people and attention. I am a super affectionate boy and a proper lap cat. My carer says it looks like I am smiling in photos when I am having lap cuddles. This is true! When I get frustrated I will tell you off a bit with a nip but I am not nasty. My high energy stems from my frustration usually because I just feel too confined and want more attention. The people that cared for me before I came to the sanctuary said I showed no signs of aggression and was golden.
A few other things to know about me. I can be a chatty boy but in the cutest way. I like to chirp away when I am content and happy. I can also be vocal when I want attention or food too! My carer has taught me how to sit nicely when Im getting a treat because I got super excited before and would grab but I have learnt this so quickly and I am now learning how to be more patient too!
I cannot wait to find my forever home now because I want a humans lap or two to call my own!
Home I am looking for…
I could live with older sensible children 13+ years old but would be better not living with younger children.
I am looking for a home as an only cat as I am not overly keen on other cats. I would also prefer not to live with any dogs! I prefer the humans to myself too!
I do need to be able to have safe outdoor access after a settling in period of at least 6-8 weeks indoors. This is to make sure I am settled in my home and bonded with my new humans before being allowed out into the big world! My main carer does think I am going to be quite testing whilst being kept indoors but it is so important you ignore me if I ask to go out sooner than I should because I could go missing or get lost easily!
I will need my new home to be well away from any main/busy roads and railway lines for my own safety.
Road/environmental checks apply.
