Scratchy

European Shorthair · Male · Young · 2 years

Hello to all cat lovers, I am the sweet Scratchy. I am a found cat at our shelter and unfortunately, no one has missed me since my arrival. Upon my arrival, a scratch on my head was discovered, but now I am feeling much better. I can hardly wait to find a beautiful new home! At first, I only allowed my foster parents to gently stroke me and was quite reserved. Over time, however, I have thawed out quite a bit, and my loving nature is becoming more and more apparent. I simply need a little patience and calmness, but as soon as trust is built, I am a fantastic and sophisticated tomcat. When I have enough cuddles, I can also show that I don't want any more. In my new home, I would prefer to be a solo prince and wish for free roam in a quiet street setting. Here at the animal shelter, I have already been neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated. My departure is now nothing in the way. Therefore, I would be thrilled about your visit! If you are looking for a quiet and young tomcat, please contact my foster parents at the animal shelter and arrange a meeting. I am waiting up here for you!. This cat needs outdoor access.

Hallo an alle Katzenliebhaber, ich bin der süße Scratchy. Ich bin als Fundtier hier im Tierheim gelandet und werde leider bis heute von keinem vermisst. Bei meiner Ankunft wurde ein Kratzer an meinem Kopf entdeckt, doch mittlerweile geht es mir aber wieder gut. Nun kann ich es kaum erwarten, ein schönes neues Zuhause zu finden!Am Anfang habe ich mich von meinen Pflegern nur ganz vorsichtig streicheln lassen und war noch ziemlich zurückhaltend. Mit der Zeit bin ich allerdings schon ordentlich aufgetaut, sodass sich mein liebes Wesen immer deutlicher zeigt. Ich brauche einfach nur ein wenig Geduld und Ruhe, doch sobald ich Vertrauen aufgebaut habe, bin ich ein ganz toller und verschmuster Kater. Wenn ich genug von den Streicheleinheiten habe, kann ich aber auch zeigen, dass ich keine Lust mehr habe. In meinem neuen Zuhause würde ich vorzugsweise gerne Einzelprinz sein und wünsche mir Freigang in einer ruhigen Straßenlage. Hier im Tierheim wurde ich auch schon kastriert, gechippt und geimpft. Meinem Auszug steht jetzt also nichts mehr im Wege. Ich würde mich daher tierisch über Euren Besuch freuen! Wenn Ihr nach einem ruhigen und jungen Kater sucht, dann meldet Euch doch bittebei meinen Pflegern im Tierheim und macht einen Termin zum Kennenlernen aus. Ich warte so lange hier oben auf Euch! Euer hübscher Scratchy
