Adopt MALIBU : non adoptable – en famille d’accueil longue durée.

European Shorthair · Unknown · Adult · 9 years

Malibu is a very gentle, sociable, and affectionate cat. He was surrendered to our shelter by his previous family, who had adopted him from the shelter when he was young. They had to part ways because Malibu was showing signs of stress and discomfort and was no longer getting along with the other cat in the household. As a result, he will be the only cat in the home if adopted. Malibu arrived at his foster family at the end of April. He adapted and familiarized himself very quickly and no longer shows any signs of stress or discomfort. He is an adorable cat who loves cuddles and snuggling on the couch with humans. He has moments of independence and enjoys going to bed in his favorite spots: cupboards, the couch, or watching birds and insects outside the window. He is clean. He loves to play and watch the family's parrot with fascination without any signs of predatory behavior. He sharpens his claws only on his cat tree (provided for this purpose).

Ils ont dû s’en séparer car Malibu manifestait des symptômes de stress, de mal être et ne s’entendait plus avec l’autre chat de la maison. De ce fait, il sera en cas d’adoption le seul chat de la maison. Malibu est arrivé dans sa famille d’accueil fin avril. Il s’est adapté et familiarisé très rapidement et n’a plus manifesté de stress, ni de mal être.. C’est un chat adorable qui adore les câlins et se blottir sur le canapé avec les humains. Il a ses moments où il manifeste une certaine indépendance et il aime aller se coucher dans ses lieux préférés : placards, canapé ou regarder par la fenêtre les oiseaux et les insectes. Il est propre. Il aime jouer et regarder avec fascination le perroquet de la famille sans aucun signe de prédation. Il se fait les griffes uniquement sur son arbre à chat (prévu à cette effet).
