Title: Brian (he's NOT the Messiah, he's a Very naughty boy!), needs a country home
Post by: funkyfish on September 18, 2012, 12:57:51 pm
We are heart broken to have to rehome our beautiful, blue eyed cream la Perm (yes, it is a breed!) cat.


Background:
He was a second hand kitten, to live as a house cat as he is nice but has no fear of anything, so no good in a town. He hated being kept indoors as he is a lively, adventurous cat. He also developed food allergies due to the stress (all sorted now only gets diarrhoea dure to stress).


So, he moved in to my dad's- middle of nowhere 2 acre garden etc, where he has flourished as a semi-out door cat. He is a fantastic mouser/ratter (does get birds too sadly).
 He LOVES people/dogs/other cats etc. He needs human company- he is a real cuddle monster he just relaxes when you pick him up, and goes floppy. My dad is moving to a town and I can\t bear the thought of having him back as a house cat.


So, in exchange for keeping the rodent population down, he needs a warm lap or two and a cosy spot on an arm chair. He is very bright and does tricks! (he is clicker trained). Mostly he needs a home where he is fed, watered and gets the occasional cuddle. He is fully insured with Pet Plan (transferable), he is vaccinated and microchipped (transferable). He is very vocal and a bit of a clutz (tries to walk along the mantal piece etc and things fall off..


Does anyone have room in their lives for a 'special' cat?

He sounds a bit like a Ragdoll, Ff. I had one years ago (Eric) and if I didn't have sighthounds I would have him in a minute.
Would you like me to put him on our little "homes wanted" list?

I'd love to have that 'naughty boy' here, he sounds fantastic - sorry to be so far away - how is he about Royal Mail (just joking)

Pic link not working for me; just as well, Brian sounds irresistable and I really don't want another cat.  Really.   I don't.   Thank goodness I'm far too far away for temptation.  :relief:

funkyfish, can you post the pic here?

Here (http://www.accidentalsmallholder.net/forum/index.php?topic=18691.0) is how to upload pics to TAS

HI guys- Brian still availible!


I'm not in a huge hurry to home him If anyone needs to think about it. He really really needs to be no where near main roads (can just cope with getting out of the way of carn in country lanes).


You are welcome to PM or email me [email protected]
