Gingey-Bread

Mixed Breed Cat · Unknown · Adult · 5 years

I may look like a big, bruiser but I’m a softy at heart! Hello, I’m Gingey-Bread, but you can call me Ginge. I came to the sanctuary as I appeared as a stray in a kind family’s garden. They began looking after me, took me in and had me vaccinated, neutered and microchipped. They said they would have loved to keep me, but sadly their other cats were picking on me. See, told you I’m not the big bruiser/ fighter that I look like!I am a lovely, big cuddly boy. I do enjoy affection and love, but all on my terms. If you give me too much attention or annoy me, then I will tell you off with a swipe or punch. Sadly, I cannot tell you to go away so this is the only way I can ask you to give me some space, please don’t think I’m a bad boy. I do admit that I can be a bit grumpy at times, but can’t we all?Most of the time, I am a laid-back placid boy who enjoys a snooze and occasionally a play. I’m quite easy-going until my ‘friend’ grumpy Ginge makes an appearance! When I’m chilled Ginge, I do also love to sit on a lap for a cuddle or nap. Of course, being an ex entire street cat, I am partial to some yummy grub- food is definitely the way to my heart! And I can get a bit naughty around food and try to steal, so my carer told me I have to tell you that I may need to be banned from the kitchen or you may need to ensure food is kept locked in cupboards where I can’t get to it. She said child cupboard locks are good. How rude! I’m not a child, just a positively starving cat!(Note from my carer as she knows I won’t say it: Gingey did come to us a little overweight so is currently on a ‘light’ food and has been on a diet, he has done well and is now a good weight. But his adopters will need to be aware that he will make out that he is hungry all the time, and try to steal food! He is not hungry all the time and does not need to be eating every hour of the day (sorry Ginge!) Puzzle/slow feeders do help, although Ginge doesn’t really appreciate them haha)Since arriving here at the sanctuary, I have had a few vet visits. Please read more about my health in my medical history section below. I am a healthy boy, but have just had a few things going on and surgery on my eye! I am looking for an adult only home. This is due to my sometimes grumpy temperament, and I don’t think I would appreciate noisy children in my home. I can be temperamental and choosey with other cats too, so my carer thinks that it’s best that I find a home as the only cat. I would also prefer no dogs. Basically, I want a nice, quiet, cosy home that I can take over! It will be my home and I will continue to allow my new humans to stay as long as they provide me with lots of food, soft blankets and a few toys. As I am used to living outside, I would really like to have access to outside in my new home so that I can go out and explore. I will however, need to be kept indoors for at least 8 weeks while I settle into my new home, make friends with my new humans and most importantly, learn where my food will be.
