Hi my name is Tato (named after a potato because apparently I was potato shaped)

I came into the sanctuary a few months ago as a stray rescued off the streets. I was entire and not microchipped. I was being fed by numerous people in a neighbourhood for many many months. This caused me to become overweight. I am a greedy boy and will eat anything! Since coming to the sanctuary I have lost just over 1kg in weight and I look so much healthier! I now get two meals a day and treats in moderation!

My main carer describes me as a true character with different sides! I have a very sweet loving nature but I can also be a bit naughty too. I have bitten my carer. This was caused by frustration/redirecting being in an isolation area with another cat (not in direct physical contact). I really do not like other cats and get very stressed around them. I now have my own seperate pen and space away from other cats so I am much more relaxed and happy. I can still be a bit temperamental at times mainly when I get overstimulated. I do love affection though and will come over and headbut you for loves! My carer has taught me how to sit nicely when Im getting a treat because I got over excited before and would grab but I have learnt this so quickly and I am now learning how to be more patient too! I have now also learnt to give paw for a treat too! I can be a vocal boy and like to make you very aware when I want something!

I really hope to find my forever home soon so I can enjoy my freedom again and be loved in a proper home of my own!
